In 2008, I talked about how important it is for websites to work correctly in text browsers (Lynx at the time). And guess what? We’ve pretty much landed back there, thanks to AI! Act one The first time I stumbled across the rise of the command line was with the advent of AI agents. When doing their job, they try to work as efficiently as possible and therefore prefer easy to navigate...
Guardrails: I’m afraid I can’t do that
With «A practical guide to building agents» OpenAI provides us with an interesting weekend lecture. Let me focus on just one aspect: Guardrails. Their paper shows a fairly simple architecture of agents working together, but their approach to controlling risk is quite sophisticated. While they propose a single agent that validates output (preventing output that could damage the integrity of your...
Context in multi-agent systems and KISMA as a remedy
We have moved from AI dialogs to agentic workflows, connecting specialized agents to handle more complexity and autonomy. But in doing so, we’ve introduced the challenge of how the system components maintain a common understanding – or how it’s called in AI terms, a common context. A paper from the Alibaba group proposes an architectural solution: KIMAs (knowledge integrated multi-agent systems)...
