About the Session
The previous session on The Rise of Personalized AI Agents highlighted a pivotal shift from passive chat to autonomous action. We explored how open-source frameworks like OpenClaw, NVIDIA’s NemoClaw, and other tools have crossed the "action gap," allowing personal agents (or "claws") to manage local file systems, automate complex APIs, and run continuous workflows overnight without human supervision.
This session will explore new technologies and features that have emerged since Part 1, incuding at Google Cloud Next and by other companies and projects. Then, whurley will dig deeper into usage examples for scientific/technical computing. We will also have more Q&A with whurley, and conclude with comparative info on the landscape of tools and how to get started effectively and quickly with several of them!
