About this episode

Carl and Richard discuss Daemonic AI with Emmz Rendle, focusing on control over AI models and tools in software development.

Is it time to build your own agent harness? Carl and Richard talk to Emmz Rendle about her work on Daemonic AI, which gives you more control over which models and tooling you use to build software with agents. Emmz talks about the upcoming rug pull in AI software development tools, where prices are rising, and services are being restricted. Having enough control to choose when to run locally becomes key to being productive at a reasonable price. Being able to pick-and-choose what agents and configurations to use for each of the agent roles you want to implement is super powerful - check out the GitHub project and take it for a spin!
