"Just ask Dave send him a text"

This episode explores one of the most important shifts happening in artificial intelligence right now: the move from AI systems we talk to toward autonomous AI agents that actually do work.

Using a small open-source project (formerly known as Clawd.bot) as the lens, the discussion unpacks why long-term memory, proactive behaviour, and task execution mark a fundamental break from traditional chatbots. Unlike typical AI tools that respond and forget, this new class of agents can remember context, operate inside everyday messaging apps, trigger workflows, manage emails and calendars, and take initiative without constant prompting.

Crucially, the episode highlights the trade-offs. Self-hosted AI agents offer control, privacy, and flexibility — but they also introduce real responsibility. Granting an AI access to files, emails, and system permissions raises serious security and governance questions, which is why these tools currently appeal more to developers and technical users than mainstream businesses.

Rather than a finished product, this project is framed as a signal: a glimpse of where AI is heading. The conversation draws parallels to the early days of personal computing — powerful, enthusiast-driven, and not yet user-friendly — and suggests we are still in the “command-line era” of AI agents.

The key takeaway is clear:
 the future of AI isn’t about better conversations — it’s about systems that operate quietly in the background, execute workflows, and deliver real outcomes. AI is evolving from something you chat with into something that actually gets things done.
