AI agent operations, local AI, persona engineering, and the future of work.
The market is saturated with products calling themselves "AI agents" that are really just chatbots with nicer UIs. Here's what real agent operations look like — and why the distinction matters for your business.
Cloud-dependent AI has a shelf life. Local-first agent execution — running on your own hardware, with your own data, under your own control — is the infrastructure story of 2026.
Everyone talks about prompt engineering. But the companies that win will be the ones that master persona engineering — designing specialized AI identities that do specific jobs better than general-purpose agents ever could.
