Article image or reusable cover for Practical AI
In the podcast, Demetrios Brinkmann and Chris Benson discuss how AI agents are becoming increasingly skilled at using computers and interacting with software to perform tasks on behalf of users.
They cover topics including MCP (the standard that connects AI models to tools), agent harnesses (frameworks that govern how agents function), and how agents can communicate with each other. They also discuss how these tools are already automating everyday tasks, the challenges of implementing them in enterprises, and how the relationship between AI models and agent harnesses is evolving.
