Retired and love technology. I spend my time exploring AI's limits and how it can help non-technologists build their dream apps. I publish open-source projects on GitHub: github.com/nomorehappypath/nomorehappypath

I see your points. The difference is that I do not intervene nor I select the strategy. The algo can decide if it buys/close position on stocks , bonds, stock options. Depending on the macro economy and situation, strategy adapt (again with no human intervention ). Also the algo analyzes every night several thousands stocks from European , Asian and US markets.

No, bull market or bear market- this is why it is a trading Algo. You have to make sure you make a reasonable profit in both directions.

It seems you never built an intelligent one!

I built a trading algo that gave me a 29% return over the year > $500 month. I applied the lessons I learned while building major trading solution like Murex and Calypso.

And now finalizing an open source development harness that I hope will be successful and will drive consulting business in AI. Check www.nomorehappypath.com

I have found that building a strict pipeline (custom dev) around the agents helps keep them honest and focused. But it's complex development; the agent model and effort don't guarantee good results. For now, having multiple agents from different companies check each other and the surrounding code is the best way to ensure excellent results.

Totally agree, they need a strong harness to make them work

I like to accept the concept that even with AI, we will have bugs, and we need to live with this reality.

Don't you think we should build infrastructure around the AI with a watcher (yes, another AI) that makes sure AIs don't deviate or drift? I.e., we can ask the dev AI to submit its test ledger as a contract, the reviewer AI to submit its own as another contract, and the watcher to monitor contract executions for deviations.

Then I see what you might say: Who monitors the watcher? -:(

I am working on a development harness using AI agents. There are plenty on the market, but I wanted something that encourages builders to build commercial solutions, not small POCs. In my experience, most stop at demos and betas. The name is funny, I know, but it has a significant meaning for me. When I started using AI, even with excellent prompt design, it always took me down the happy path. Most AI is designed to satisfy the prompt without really questioning the quality of what it delivers. And then the bad surprises start showing up. A commercial application needs much more than a prompt can deliver: security, usability, deployment, maintenance, users management, cloud, web or native design, and of course quality. It takes a full stack to build one. After months of trial and error, I reached this verdict: -You need a watcher to keep the AI from hallucinating and drifting. And facilitating the route if issues appears during developments and tests. -Never let the developer agent test its own work and claim it's done. -Build a reviewer from a different company's AI to refute the developer's claims and build its own tests. -Let the user be manage the final delivery gate I also built the plumbing to keep the context small and make it easy for non-coders. You describe what you want and approve the requirements. Then the agents build and test it on the machine the software is meant for, with no one needed until you review the delivered solution and approve it. It builds web or native software for Linux, Windows and Mac. It's open source: https://github.com/nomorehappypath/nomorehappypath
