6ix Applied Agentic Computing

Most people have used an AI chatbot. Far fewer have set up an agent: software that reads your files, runs your tools, and finishes a task while you do something else. Toronto DAO is hosting an evening on applied agentic computing (software agents that take actions on your behalf, not just answer questions). Three things happen here. The last stretch of the evening is a show and tell. Anyone running a setup can put it on the screen and walk the room through it. Most of what people take home from a night like this comes from seeing someone else's working setup and asking why they built it that way. No prior experience with agents is needed. Curiosity and a charged laptop are enough.
