A Step Closer to Digital Human - Agentic Browser

Image
Recently, we saw the announcements of ChatGPT Atlas and Perplexity Comet. Both of these seem like somewhat useless products and don't appear to add much on top of a standard Chrome browser. However, I believe that these "agentic browsers" are going to have huge impact. Why? The biggest problem with current AI agents is that they cannot see what we see. They cannot consume what we consume, so they cannot act the way we act. We live much of our lives digitally and online, but our agents do not. If I were able to give my agent access to my Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, email, calendar, etc., it would start to think more and more like me. Since the browser already has access to all of this, it is the key component required. There are one or two more features that would be required to make a big impact.  First, we would need the ability to schedule tasks. This way, my agent could be like me, checking WhatsApp, email, and YouTube periodically. Second, like Cursor and Claude Cod...

Enterprise Portal Content Management

Content Management is one of the major motivations behind portals. But it is really unfortunate that there is no portal solution (at least in java world) that can fulfill even the basic content publishing requirements. A basic content management solution contains at least a content repository, content creation methods, content publishing methods, workflow and an API for content manipulation. In the past I have given a look on few major portals and reached to this conclusion. First, as usual, I have given a look on various open source portals. But other than the basic content repository and few APIs, I wasn't able to find anything. Means no open source portal can be used as an instant content publishing solution. The affair on commercial portals is also muted. The best portal server, in my opinion is IBM WebSphere Portal Server (again in java world). It comes with it's own content publishing tool called WebSphere Portal Content Publisher (WPCP). It can be used for small and m...

Where Am I?

Image
My regular readers are wondering where I suddenly disappeared. Why I am not posting regularly on any of the blogs and forums. I really feel sorry about it. In fact, I also feel that I am not justifying my involvement with JSR 286. There are multiple reasons for it and the most important is my occupancy with our running portal projects. I was also busy in finishing my Portlets Factory. Anyways, now I hope I am back and able to contribute to all such areas. You will be wondering what exactly the "portlets factory" is. Portlets Factory is going to have different meaning to different people. But the most common meaning is a place where you can get readymade portlets. In short, I am working towards creating bunch of JSR 168 compliant out-of-box portlets. I always felt strong need of portlets that can be readily utilized with the J2EE portals but not many companies are working towards that. Here are few of the latest portlets we have finished - 1. Collaboration Portlets for Lotus D...
