Well… they’re not just tools anymore.
In the final episode of this season of Overnight Experts, Chris and Sam dive into the rapidly evolving world of AI agents — the autonomous digital workers reshaping how we think about labour, creativity, and control.
AI agents don’t just answer prompts. They plan, negotiate, execute, and improve. They book meetings, run businesses, trade stocks, manage workflows, and operate with a level of independence that feels less like software… and more like a colleague you never hired.
We explore how these agents are moving from novelty to necessity, transforming industries from finance to film production. And as they learn faster, work longer, and scale endlessly, the questions grow louder: what happens to jobs, judgement, and accountability when decision-making becomes automated?
From productivity booms to ethical minefields, from digital assistants to fully autonomous “co-workers,” Chris and Sam unpack the rise of AI agents and the uneasy tension between convenience and control.
Tune in as they break down how these systems are changing not just what we do — but what it means to do anything at all.
