If a source is a related external video rather than an exact official recording, keep it framed as supporting evidence. ## Summary Ivan Leo's scheduled World's Fair session appears to be a short Expo Stage talk connected to his broader work on developer experience for advanced AI systems. The page currently has no confirmed recording or official description for this exact session, but the linked supporting material points toward a practical theme: how agentic systems become useful through structured interaction, tool use, and iterative research workflows rather than one-shot prompting alone. The related AI Engineer video, "Building Intelligent Research Agents with Manus," supplies adjacent evidence from Ivan's public AI-engineering work, including slide material around Manus, research-agent workflows, task creation, peer/workshop framing, and the mechanics of building agents that can gather, organize, and act on information. Treat those slides as context for Ivan Leo's interests and likely framing, not as proof that the World's Fair talk used the same deck. ## Transcript Status Related video transcript availability: English auto-captions. Treat this as supporting context, not a recording of this exact scheduled session unless later confirmed. Not fetched yet. ## People - [[ivan-leo]] ## Supporting Slides - [[youtube-xz0-brt56L8-slides]] — extracted from the related public AI Engineer video. ## Slide Evidence - Slide-only cropped deck: [[youtube-xz0-brt56L8-dense-slides]] (12 viable slide images). - Related slide/OCR pages: - [[youtube-xz0-brt56L8-dense-slides]] - [[youtube-xz0-brt56L8-reconstructed-slides]] - [[youtube-xz0-brt56L8-slides]] - Slide-derived terms: `manus`, `workshop`, `peer`, `year`, `died`, `gene`, `description`, `b1.302`, `link`, `task`, `create`, `manes`, `eget`, `meee`, `whatis2`, `channel`, `manu`, `work` ## Attendance Visibility No high-confidence attendance icon signal is shown for this talk. The sampled video evidence was either low confidence, source-proxy-only, or did not expose a clear audience view. ## Synthesis ### Synthesized Breakdown # An Interaction Is All You Need ## Conference Context - Date/time: 2026-07-01 · 3:20pm-3:40pm - Track/room: Expo Stage 3 · Expo Stage 3 SW - Speaker(s): Ivan Leo - Session type/status: session · confirmed - Track: Expo Stage 3 - Room: Expo Stage 3 SW - Session type: session - Status: confirmed ## Session Description No official description published in the schedule data. ## Media Evidence [Building Intelligent Research Agents with Manus - Ivan Leo, Manus AI (now Meta Superintelligence)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz0-brt56L8) (speaker-match related prior/adjacent AI Engineer video; captions: English auto-captions). - Source video: `youtube-xz0-brt56L8` - Slide deck: [[youtube-xz0-brt56L8-dense-slides|Dense Slides: Building Intelligent Research Agents with Manus - Ivan Leo, Manus AI (now Meta Superintelligence)]] — 12 visible slide image(s); 12 HTML recreation(s). ![[assets/dense-slides/xz0-brt56L8/slide-001.jpg]] ![[assets/dense-slides/xz0-brt56L8/slide-002.jpg]] ![[assets/dense-slides/xz0-brt56L8/slide-003.jpg]] - Additional slide evidence: [[youtube-xz0-brt56L8-slides|Slides: Building Intelligent Research Agents with Manus - Ivan Leo, Manus AI (now Meta Superintelligence)]], [[youtube-xz0-brt56L8-reconstructed-slides|Reconstructed Slides: Building Intelligent Research Agents with Manus - Ivan Leo, Manus AI (now Meta Superintelligence)]] - Slide-derived themes for `youtube-xz0-brt56L8`: faster, better, quality, gain. ### Speaker And Company Context - No speaker profile is attached in the official schedule data. ### Topics Covered - [[agentic-search]] - [[coding-agents]] ### Derived Links And Source Material - [[youtube-xz0-brt56L8]] — related YouTube source page. - [[youtube-xz0-brt56L8-slides]] — slide evidence. - [[youtube-xz0-brt56L8-reconstructed-slides]] — slide evidence. - [[youtube-xz0-brt56L8-dense-slides]] — slide evidence. ### Novel Concepts / Clever Methods - No highlighted novel concept has been detected yet. ### Evidence Boundary This synthesis is based on the official schedule and linked source pages.
