From Pokémon Go to Open Jarvis

This episode focused on the shift toward local, always-on AI systems and the tools making that possible. The conversation started with Pokémon Go as an example of users generating valuable spatial AI data, then moved into NVIDIA GTC, inference hardware, and the broader push toward on-device agents. The second half centered on building workflows with Claude Code, Open Jarvis, mobile coding limitations, Google’s new embeddings model, and how agent permissions change the way people work with coding tools.
