The Prompt Era Is Over.AI Agents, Generative Video & the Token Economy
"The era of simple prompts is over." — Google Cloud, 2026
AI in 2026 isn't a chatbot anymore. Agents are orchestrating end-to-end workflows. Codex ships code while you sleep. Seedance 2.0 just cut short-form video production costs by 99%. Tokens are the new compute fuel.
Things are moving too fast for Twitter threads.
So on Saturday, May 17, we're putting Silicon Valley's sharpest builders, researchers, and investors in one room in Palo Alto — no slideware, just signal.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 THREE DEEP DIVES
▸ AI Agents in Production Persistent agents, multi-step pipelines, what actually breaks at scale. Lessons from teams shipping today.
▸ AI Video & Short-Form Drama Seedance 2.0 vs Sora 2 vs Veo 3.1 vs Kling — model showdown, character consistency, and the industrialized pipeline behind the short-drama boom.
▸ The Token Economy Model aggregation, token-based monetization, AI × Web3 settlement layers. Where the next $100B is being built.
🔥 BONUS: Live Coding Battle Two builders. Agentic coding tools. 30 minutes. One working product. No PPT allowed — code or it didn't happen.
