Week 6 · Tuesday, November 3, 2026 · 9:30 to 11:00 AM
AI That Takes Action, and AI That Lives on Your Own Device
Meet agents that carry out multi-step tasks for you, and discover capable AI that runs privately on your own phone with no internet or subscription.
What we cover
- What an AI agent is and how it can complete several steps of a task on its own.
- That real, useful AI can run privately on your own device, with no internet and no subscription, and why that protects your privacy and independence.
Hands-on
On your phone or laptop, you will set a simple agent loose on a short multi-step task, then install and chat with an AI model that runs entirely on the device, with the internet switched off to prove it needs no connection.
