Redefining Co-Agency: Human–AI Collaboration in the Agentic Era
Session Overview
The rapid rise of AI agents and multimodal systems has marked a new era where creativity, reasoning, and collaboration converge. Yet, many innovators still struggle to align AI’s generative capabilities with human intent and imagination.
In this talk, Yichen Wu will share his insights and experiments at the intersection of human–AI co-agency and autonomous intelligence. Drawing from his work at Flowith, he will discuss the team’s exploration of a next-generation agentic workspace—rethinking how humans and AI collaborate through an evolving agentic system.
The session will uncover:
- From tools to agents — redefining creation and intelligent action
- Designing systems that understand context and act
- The future of human–AI collaboration — from interaction to symbiosis
Yichen invites the audience to imagine a world where intelligence itself becomes the medium of action and creation—where the next operating system might not just run programs, but run alongside us.
