AI didn’t get bigger. We just learned how to *see* what it can actually do.
In this live session, I’ll show how modern LLMs can turn ordinary terminal scripts into autonomous agents that troubleshoot, summarize, convert data, generate reports, and glue tools together without you writing the heavy code.

We’ll walk through two real examples:

**• Zero-shot module generation**
How a single AI prompt transformed a Python finance library into a working module at the command line. No rewriting, no scaffolding. Just AI doing the translation.

**• Terminal agents that think**
Using a simple script and an API key, I’ll demo agents that can read logs, analyze data, summarize Git changes, convert CSVs to Excel, and self-correct errors — all from a plain CLI workflow.
Under the hood, I’m using PowerShell.

But the bigger idea is shell-native AI:

**AI as a teammate that works inside your everyday tools.**
If you’re curious where scripting, automation, and AI are actually heading — and how to use it today — this session will flip a few switches.
