Why (Senior) Engineers Struggle to Build AI Agents — Philipp Schmid, Google DeepMind

Method

This deck is slide-only. The existing captured video frame set supplies candidate frames, then local OpenCV rejects sponsor/title/speaker-only frames, crops visible slide surfaces, deduplicates, and saves the cropped slide images.

Cropped Visible Slides

• Recreated text/layout view: open HTML recreation
• AI slide classifier: content_slide confidence 0.98
• Text source: none.
• OCR decision: ready — Diagram slide with multiple small labels and compact text blocks.

• Recreated text/layout view: open HTML recreation
• AI slide classifier: content_slide confidence 0.99
• Text source: agent_vision.
• OCR decision: ready — Text-heavy slide with bullets and embedded code screenshots.

- The Trap: Treating the real world as enums and booleans because it feels safe.

- The Collision: Forcing natural language intent into discrete booleans lobotomizes the context.

- The Fix: Preserve semantic meaning through raw strings so the agent can adapt intelligently downstream.
