Been talking to Coté about this is our regular calls for months. So cool to see the progression as the state of the art moves forward.

It will take place in a month in Shoreditch. Coté will be signing copies of his book The Heir's Bane goodreads.com/book/show/2265…

I figured out how to bring 🎉AGENTIC🥳 AI to D&D. Here, I go over writing a Model Context Protocol Server that acts as a solo roleplaying oracle. I walk through all you need to do to get it running with Claude, using Spring AI to write a simple, Java MCP Server.

What's programming "agentic AI" actually like? I wanted to bullshit test all my marketing slides work coded up several agentic AI tools with Model Context Protocol to, of course, play Dungeons and Dragons: youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Later today you can see what we're doing a my work to create private AI platforms and how we're thinking about using Model Context Protocol (MCP) for enterprise apps. Lots of Tanzu vision, but also lots of real architecture and demos. Check it out: go-vmware.broadcom.com/april-moment-2…

Here's my third video of playing D&D with Model Protocol Context tools. In this one, I make an MCP Resource. Also, thoughts on JSON and European pickles. youtube.com/watch?v=b_vKjp…

MCP Prompts have, this far, been kind of weird, obscure, and unimpressive for me. Not not more! In episode 4 of my Model Context Protocol for D&D series, I figure out making an adventure builder with a Prompt. It starts to feel like actual, if simplistic, "agentic AI."
