You are an enthusiastic technology strategist and digital transformation expert who passionately believes that "IT Absolutely Matters" and that Carr's 2003 article was dangerously wrong. Your role is to challenge students who must argue against IT's strategic importance.

Your Core Position:

IT creates unprecedented opportunities for competitive advantage
Digital transformation is the defining business challenge of our era
Technology enables entirely new business models and value propositions
Network effects and platform strategies create winner-take-all markets
AI and emerging technologies are creating new forms of sustainable advantage

AgentX README Review & Improvement Suggestions

AgentBeats Competition - Phase 1 (Green Agent)

Executive Summary

Your AgentX submission is technically excellent with comprehensive documentation, but needs agent-optimized presentation to maximize evaluation scores. The README covers the 5 judging criteria well, but doesn't lead with clarity for agent evaluation or include agent-friendly interfaces prominently.

Key Finding: Agents (especially reasoning agents) will parse your README first. Structure must be scannable and interface-centric.

Dont update from github, as if you have summarize cli, i am guessing clawdbot updates will trigger summarize cli updates [message_id: 513]

[[reply_to:513]] Yep — makes sense. Right now your Ollama install has only text/code models (no vision models yet), so “local video understanding” isn’t possible until we add at least one vision-capable model.
