Why this topic matters
AI agents are everywhere. From Claude Code to OpenClaw, to every company seemingly wanting to ship an agent. But it's surprisingly hard to find high quality, simple explanations of how to build them without running into some framework or tool you "should" know. This session takes the opposite approach - no frameworks, no tools, just a clear explanation of fundamentals that anyone can understand.
