Stanford's The Modern Software Developer course kicks off its guest lecture series with Lee Robinson, previously VP of DevRel at Cursor and now working on model behavior at SpaceX.
His talk covers how to extend agent harnesses to build persistent, always-on proactive systems like Grokbot. The poster breaks such agents into five core modules: planning & reasoning, memory, tools & actions, communication interfaces, and environment & data. The session runs 5:30pm on Oct 8 in Room 370-370 and is open to all.
