The Questions That Shape This Evening.

Peter's theses meet the questions decision-makers are asking now. Four tensions for one evening.

01

My Agent Acts in My Name. Who Verifies That It May?

Emails, approvals, payments, contracts – a Personal Agent works where decisions are made. Then what always counts in business counts here too: identity, authority and a clear audit trail. Those who define what the agent may do, and how that is verified, gain speed and stay in control. This isn't an IT question – it's a leadership task.

02

Agents Take Over Routine Work. What Does Your Team Do with the Time?

Ticket work, code reviews, documentation – much of this will run automatically soon. Organizations that understand this early put their best people on what agents can't do: judgment, customer relationships, strategic decisions.

03

Every Department Is Building Its Own Agents. How Do You Turn That Into an Advantage?

When every employee can automate, new innovation pathways emerge across the organization. The question isn't whether this happens – it's how you shape it: clear rules instead of bans, momentum instead of loss of control.

04

The Technology Is Good Enough. The Bottleneck Is Imagination.

Peter's thesis: the next model won't make the decision easier. The difference between organizations that act now and those that wait isn't the tool – it's what they can imagine.

Why This Evening Matters

Four Perspectives, One Common Thread.

The companies asking the right questions now will define what work looks like in five years.

Imagination is the Bottleneck, Not the Models

Imagination and attention are the only resources you can't buy. Those who direct them, lead.

Access Beats Technology

Agents don't just change what gets built — they change who builds. The next builders aren't in IT. When everyone in the company can build, software competence must become core culture.

Open Source as a Survival Strategy

An agent that knows everything about you can't be a rental. Open Source isn't ideology — it's risk management.

Leadership is the Key Skill

The ability to orchestrate agents and coordinate workflows is not an IT question. You need to see, understand, and explain the big picture.

In His Own Words

Voices from Practice

Not a Lecture on Theory.

Decision-makers and entrepreneurs show what happens when Personal Agents are no longer a concept, but everyday reality.
