16x Microsoft MVP builds native PowerShell agent on Microsoft's Intelligent Terminal

Doug Finke, 16-time Microsoft MVP and author of ImportExcel/PSAI, built his own native PowerShell agent on Microsoft's Intelligent Terminal, a terminal built on Windows Terminal that runs AI agents.
The approach: the agent works with live PowerShell objects across a conversation, then saves the work as a script you can run separately in a standalone PowerShell console. He'll demo it live Wednesday 6 PM ET on Meetup, along with other Intelligent Terminal features; a preview video is already up. No agent-building experience needed to follow along — a directly replicable combo of terminal + custom agent for Windows developers.
