Every AI agent you build eventually hits the same walls: async complexity, brittle orchestration frameworks, and data that can't leave your infrastructure. What if you could build expert AI agents entirely on your laptop, without sending a single byte to the cloud?This session introduces Dana, a local-first agent programming language designed for building AI agents. Get a working expert agent in minutes:
- Long running, multi-step agent workflows on a single line: `step1 | step2 | [step3a, step3b, step3c] | step4`
- Built-in concurrency for parallel LLM calls with zero async keywords
- Deterministic execution with learning loops that improve reliability over time
Whether you're dealing with sensitive data, air-gapped requirements, or cloud API limitations—come see what agent development looks like when everything runs locally.
