I don't think this is using an agent harness.

Google wave rides again!

I'd say the thing with email that most improvements would need improved standards?

That said, as with the emacs user example, the ability to automatically process all your email in madly custom ways can now be opened to the masses.

Except it's often faster to make the change yourself than explain it to an AI.

I think the fact you need tool calling to stop it doing that, shows the underlying issue with trusting it to do anything without a human

Useful tool, and if you're just scratching a small itch it's great.

For any serious system you still need to understand and guide the code, and unless you do some of the coding.. You won't. It's just novelty right now is skewing our reasoning.

This is a good parallel. In the 90s when I learned to drive I was quite good at navigating. Now google maps is on a screen in my car telling me where to go whenever I drive beyond my most common routes.

Really all the research telling us about AI skills atrophy.. We should have guessed from previous experience.

I assume you mean open weight models? I wish we had better open source models. It would make LLMs far less icky if we had nice clean open trained models. A breakthrough on the cost of training would be nice.

emacs users who are hostile to you configuring things, aren't really getting the point IMO :)
