Agentic Planning (The Agents Season, Episode 5)

from Linear Digressions · host Katie Malone

When tackling a complex, multi-step task, even the smartest AI agent can fail without a solid game plan. This episode dives into the research around agentic planning — how agents move beyond simply reacting to what's in front of them and instead model a path forward, explore different routes, and course-correct when things go sideways. It's a subtler problem than memory, and a fascinating one: can an agent actually *think ahead*? Tune in to find out what the research says.

While at MIT, he took a "system dynamics theory" class, which gave him the initial idea of a computer modeling business with non-linear mathematics. After graduating from college, he worked as a venture manager at DuPont. The time he spent creating computer simulations at MIT prepared him for his new job at DuPont, where he constructed models to simulate business interactions. Saylor went onto co-found MicroStrategy in 1989, at the age of 24, with a consulting contract from DuPont, which provided him w Potes et Psychoses - le podcast Potes et Psychoses Potes et Psychoses est un podcast entre potes où l'on aborde nos questions existentielles.
