A think tool
Giving AI an inner-voice with Model Context Protocol I separated out a “think tool” from my agentic D&D project this week. The think tool is stupidly simple: all it does it echo back whatever the AI sends it. The original write-up from Anthropic makes it seems a little more mystical, but it doesn’t take long…

How Goodyear is trying to meet its “big, hairy, audacious goal” – time for tech execs to step up to agentic AI, says CDO Mamatha Chamarthi – Helping “coach” sales people is a popular AI use case. You can imagine prompts like “given what we know about this customer and their business, what products should…

As Consumers Turn To Agentic AI Use Cases, Businesses Must Adapt Or Be Left Behind – ”Domain-specific agents will be rejected. Several consumer-facing businesses are building their own proprietary ‘shopping agents.’ But the power of consumer agents lies in access to holistic consumer data. A personal agent will always outperform a domain-specific corporate agent in…

How to make MCP Prompts in Java with Spring AI – Coding Model Context Protocol Prompts – Solo roleplaying D&D with agentic AI, #04
Let’s get the AI to build D&D adventures for us with a Model Context Protocol Prompt. I haven’t found much value in MCP Prompts until now. What makes them excited is when you use them a “recipe” to chain together other tool calls. In this episode of my MCP programming series, I show you how…

How to create a Model Context Protocol Resource – Solo roleplaying D&D with agentic AI, #03
The AIs are good at being a Dungeon Master for Dungeons & Dragons, but their memory is limited. How can you make sure they don’t forget all that loot you just got, or ensure that cobbler back in the village remembers the type of boots you orders and paid for up front? I’ll show you…

Spy on the DM with Model Context Protocol Servers in Java – Solo roleplaying D&D with agentic AI, #02
Not only can you give more direction to the AI when you’re playing solo D&D with it, you can start to understand how it thinks. I walk through how to use MCP Server tools to enhance solo roleplaying with Claude (and ChatGPT, etc.) and how to get extra information about how the AI is thinking.…

Make an oracle with an MCP Server in Java with Spring AI – Solo roleplaying D&D with agentic AI, #01
Playing D&D with ChatGPT, Claude, or whatever is fun. But sometime you want more control over how it behaves and what it does. Check out this video for a quick tutorial on creating an oracle plugin for Claude. This “plugin” is a Model Context Protocol Server written in Java using Spring AI. Once you create…

Writing good docs is important for agentic AI and Model Context Protocol, and developers are terrible at writing good docs
One quick things up-top: this week (tomorrow!), get an overview and demos of the private AI stack and development frameworks we’ve been working on at Tanzu. Register to check it out online, either live or the recording after the event. Spy on the DM with Model Context Protocol Servers in Java Here’s my latest walk-through…

Agentic definition from Azeem Azhar and Nathan Warren – Good simple AI vs. agentic AI framing: “Some view AI as a tool – a system that passively performs functions, while others see it as an agent – a system that actively pursues objectives, makes independent decisions and may develop instrumental goals such as self-preservation.”

Practical agentic AI without all the mysticism
Catch-up: what we learn from Sonos and OpenTofu, how I use AI at work, Bluesky is getting pretty good. Found by fuzzyghost. Agentic AI I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about the Tanzu point of view on AI and the stack we have (Spring AI and the VMware Tanzu AI Solutions). There’s a…
