The Next Paradigm of AI: What Comes After Agents?
📝 Event Details
AI are moving from answering questions to taking action. What capabilities will define the next leap—and what should founders build toward today?
Join FounderCoHo at AWS Builder Loft for a conversation with frontier researchers, founders, and investors exploring what comes after agents.
We’re in the fourth year of the current AI wave, and the patterns keep shifting:
The application landscape has moved from chatbots to personal agents.
Models have evolved from text to multimodal understanding and generation.
AI agents are rapidly reshaping knowledge work.
We’re still early. This discussion will explore what comes next and where new opportunities are emerging.
Join us for a candid discussion, open Q&A, and meaningful connections with others exploring these questions.
