Join us for the premiere of our series on AI Agents, exploring the paradigm shift from passive predictive models to autonomous systems capable of reasoning and action. In this episode, we deconstruct the core anatomy of an agent—its "Brain" (Model), "Hands" (Tools), and "Nervous System" (Orchestration)—to explain the fundamental "Think, Act, Observe" loop that drives their behavior. Discover how this architecture enables developers to move beyond traditional coding to become "directors" of intelligent, goal-oriented applications.

The Adoption and Usage of AI Agents: Early Evidence from Perplexity
Explore the emerging "year of agentic AI" through the first large-scale field study of Perplexity’s Comet browser, which analyzes millions of user interactions to understand how autonomous agents are reshaping daily workflows,. We discuss key findings revealing that early adoption is driven by educated, knowledge-intensive professionals who primarily use agents for productivity and learning tasks,. Tune in to learn how these "sticky" habits are evolving from simple queries to complex, cognitive actions that bridge the gap between information and execution,.

Monetizing AI: Pricing Strategies and Experimentation
Monetizing AI is uniquely challenging, driven by rapid cost changes and intense customer demand for demonstrable ROI. We discuss essential frameworks, including selecting the right value metric—from resource-based tokens to outcome-based pricing—to ensure alignment between price and perceived value. Learn why continual experimentation is vital and how data-informed tools like Orb Simulations can help AI builders avoid "pricing on vibes".

Agents to Skills: Building Expertise with Procedural Knowledge
Join us as Anthropic experts reveal why they stopped building agents and started building specialized "skills" instead, arguing that while general agents are brilliant, they often lack the domain expertise needed for consistent, real-world work. Skills are simply organized folders packaging procedural knowledge and scripts as tools to provide that missing expertise and important context. This scalable design is fostering a quickly growing ecosystem, enabling general agents like Claude to acquire new capabilities and organizational best practices instantly.
