Peter’s theses meet the questions decision-makers are asking now. Four tensions for one evening. - **My Agent Acts in My Name Every Day. What Rules Does It Need?** Emails, deals, personnel files — a Personal Agent works where decisions are made. Those who define clear rules gain speed and stay in control. This isn’t an IT question — it’s a leadership task. - **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. - **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. - **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. 1. **Imagination is the Bottleneck, Not the Models** Imagination and attention are the only resources you can’t buy. Those who direct them, lead. 2. **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. 3. **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. 4. **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 ## Peter Steinberger, Unfiltered. - “The bottleneck is no longer typing. It’s thinking.” — Peter Steinberger, TED, April 2026 - “Chatbots give up. Agents improvise.” — Peter Steinberger, TED, April 2026 - “The models are good enough. Now, everything that we’re limited by is our own imagination.” — Peter Steinberger, Microsoft Build, May 2026 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. - ![Peter Steinberger speaking on stage in front of an audience](https://xalt-northstar.com/assets/events/peter-steinberger/peter-steinberger-stage.jpg) Founder, OpenClaw Foundation **Peter Steinberger** Founder of OpenClaw and the OpenClaw Foundation — open-source runtime for Personal Agents.
