Would you like a team of expert and highly energetic assistants?

An agent is an intelligent autonomous program that can follow instructions and perform tasks under your direction.

We will start with a brief history of creative AI agents, and a survey of the current state of the art in agent platforms.

We will look at agent tools that include no-code development, creation and management of agent teams, collaboration between agents, and emergent agent behavior.

Questions we will discuss:

What are appropriate roles for creative agents - collaborator, idea generator, feedback provider, organizer, promoter?

How does the use of agents impact our current thinking about creative authorship and ownership?

Looking ahead, how do we envision the future role of agents and their impact on the creative, process and professions?
