Getting an AI agent running on your laptop is one thing. Getting it running on your own infrastructure - securely, repeatably, at scale - is something else entirely.
As a software developer, I create scripts and applications to automate the tedious parts of my job - and my life. Rather than tools in a tool belt, I have always thought of these apps as a menagerie of creatures. Each has its own abilities. To solve a problem, I can simply select one and unleash it on the world, where it can run along and do my bidding.
In our modern world of AI agents, this fantasy of mine has grown more real.
