Welcome to Episode 41 of our podcast, where we navigate the fast-moving frontier of artificial intelligence. Today, we're diving deep into a topic that's reshaping how we think about AI systems: the rise of agent-based architectures—a new paradigm that's bringing structure to what was once a chaotic, fragmented landscape.

In this episode, we unpack the evolving ecosystem of AI agents, inspired by an excellent piece by Jon Turow, titled "The Agent Stack Emerges". His blog post serves as a foundational lens through which we'll explore how AI agents are moving from theoretical constructs to practical tools, forming patterns and stacks that mirror the emergence of cloud computing decades ago.

We'll walk through the early chaos of single-use tools, the convergence around reusable components, and the emergence of standardized layers—from agent memory and planning to orchestration and interfaces. These aren’t just technical abstractions; they’re reshaping product design, user experience, and how we conceptualize autonomous software.

Whether you’re a builder, an investor, or simply an AI enthusiast, this episode will give you a clearer view of where the agent world is heading—and why understanding these patterns today is crucial for thriving in tomorrow’s AI economy.

Special thanks to Jon Turow for his thoughtful exploration of the agent stack. You can check out his full post here: https://jonturow.substack.com/p/the-agent-stack-emerges?triedRedirect=true

Let’s get into it.
