Ideas
Jason Calacanis Angel Investor / Founder, LAUNCH 4:35
Agents unlock AI from sandboxed tools
Jason argues that the agentic AI revolution is unlocking large language models from their sandbox by giving them access to email, analytics, GitHub, calendars, and other tools. This lets AI agents execute multi-step knowledge work and business processes, making companies faster and more efficient and replacing or augmenting tasks that previously required paid employees.

Meta glasses enable visual AI agents
Sean demonstrates a two-layer agent system using Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, Gemini Live for real-time visual and voice perception, and OpenClaw for task execution. He believes this integration gives glasses visual understanding and agentic capability in the physical world, turning them into a powerful new entry point for agents and unlocking a large emerging capability.
