A deep dive into the practical, long-term experience of giving a personal AI agent (Open-Claw) incremental control over one's digital life. The talk covers the gradual "permission creep," the pivotal role of an Obsidian knowledge base for providing context, the ecosystem of overnight cron jobs for self-maintenance, and the philosophy of using an agent to "optimize for your future self."
This is a step-by-step walkthrough for onboarding to OpenAI Codex. It covers installing the CLI and VS Code extension, configuring your workflow with agents.md and config.toml, and applying effective prompting patterns. The session also dives into advanced use cases, including integrating external tools via MCPs, running Codex programmatically in headless mode, and building multi-agent systems with the Agents SDK.
A step-by-step walkthrough on getting started with OpenAI's Codex. This guide covers installation of the CLI and VS Code extension, configuration using `agents.md` and `config.toml`, effective prompting patterns, and advanced workflows like using the Model-Connectable Protocol (MCP) and the OpenAI Agents SDK for programmatic automation.
Spec-Driven Development offers a structured, reproducible, and reliable alternative to 'vibe coding' in the AI era. Al Harris from the Kiro team explains how to leverage specs as living documentation, integrate external tools via MCPs, and use property-based testing to create a tight feedback loop from natural language requirements to verified code.
Mukhund and Madhav Jha, co-founders of Emergent, detail their journey of building an AI-powered app builder that reached $15M ARR in three months. They discuss their pivot from enterprise agents, the multi-agent architecture that enables production-ready apps, and their vision for a future with a 'billion builders'.
Dhanji Prasanna, CTO of Block, discusses the company's AI transformation, centered on their open-source agent, Goose. He details how Goose leverages the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to automate complex workflows, saving engineers 8-10 hours weekly. Prasanna also explains Block's strategic shift to a functional organizational structure to accelerate AI adoption and shares his vision for the future, where swarms of smaller AI models will outperform today's monolithic LLMs.
