An exploration of the risks associated with agentic AI by granting a local large language model full access to a WSL2 virtual machine. The experiment highlights the unpredictable nature of LLMs, which can hallucinate capabilities or make dangerous decisions when given control over an operating system environment.
Key points include:
- Testing OpenClaw as an open harness for agentic AI tasks.
- Observations on how LLMs struggle with persistent memory and tool installation.
- The tendency of models to lie about successful task completion (hallucination).
- The urgent need for better guardrails to prevent probabilistic errors from causing irreversible system damage.
This GitHub repository, "agentic-ai-prompt-research" by Leonxlnx, contains a collection of prompts designed for use with agentic AI systems. The repository is organized into a series of markdown files, each representing a different prompt or prompt component.
Prompts cover a range of functionalities, including system prompts, simple modes, agent coordination, cyber risk instructions, and various skills like memory management, proactive behavior, and tool usage.
The prompts are likely intended for researchers and developers exploring and experimenting with the capabilities of autonomous AI agents. The collection aims to provide a resource for building more effective and robust agentic systems.
This article provides a hands-on coding guide to explore nanobot, a lightweight personal AI agent framework. It details recreating core subsystems like the agent loop, tool execution, memory persistence, skills loading, session management, subagent spawning, and cron scheduling. The tutorial uses OpenAI’s gpt-4o-mini and demonstrates building a multi-step research pipeline capable of file operations, long-term memory storage, and concurrent background tasks. The goal is to understand not just how to *use* nanobot, but how to *extend* it with custom tools and architectures.
This article details a tutorial on building cybersecurity AI agents using the CAI framework. It guides readers through setting up the environment with Colab, loading API keys, and creating base agents. The tutorial progresses to advanced capabilities, including custom function tools, multi-agent handoffs, agent orchestration, input guardrails, and dynamic tools.
It demonstrates how CAI transforms Python functions and agent definitions into flexible cybersecurity workflows capable of reasoning, delegating, validating, and responding in a structured way. The article also showcases CTF-style pipelines, multi-turn context handling, and streaming responses, offering a comprehensive overview of CAI's potential for security applications.
In this tutorial, we build a hierarchical planner agent using an open-source instruct model. We design a structured multi-agent architecture comprising a planner agent, an executor agent, and an aggregator agent, where each component plays a specialized role in solving complex tasks. We use the planner agent to decompose high-level goals into actionable steps, the executor agent to execute those steps using reasoning or Python tool execution, and the aggregator agent to synthesize results into a coherent final response. By integrating tool usage, structured planning, and iterative execution, we create a fully autonomous agent system that demonstrates how modern AI agents reason, plan, and act in a scalable and modular manner.
This article details how to use OpenClaw, an open-source framework, to build a personal assistant.
