Host Chris Benson and guest Demetrios Brinkmann explore the emerging world of computer-use AI agents that can operate software, take actions on behalf of users, and reshape how people work and interact with the internet. They break down the core concepts: agent harnesses, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), agent-to-agent interactions, and agentic commerce. The conversation also covers real-world automation of everyday tasks, the challenges of bringing these autonomous agents into enterprise environments, and how the relationship between underlying AI models and the harness infrastructure is evolving.
