I know I'm running a bit late to the party here, but maybe someone can provide some color that I (on the slightly older end of the spectrum when it comes to this) don't fully understand.

When people talk about leaving their agents to run overnight, what are those agents actually doing? The limited utility I've had using agent-supported software development requires a significant amount of hand holding, maybe because I'm in an industry with limited externally available examples to build am model off of (though all of the specifications are public, I've yet to see an agent build an appropriate implementation).

So it's much more transactional...I ask, it does something (usually within seconds), I correct, it iterates again...

What sort of tasks are people putting these agents to? How are people running 'multiple' of these agents? What am I missing here?
