I've seen people set up crons to run every 15 minutes and accidentally spend a ton because the agent runs every time, even when there's nothing to do. Do you have a way to run a cheap check first and only wake the agent when something actually needs its attention?

I think there are a lot of people using AI who aren't as familiar with these tools as us. We stop noticing a lot of the complexity when we pick it up gradually. There are so many powerful capabilities built into codex/ claude code that have little or no UI affordance.

it's tons of small things like choosing the right effort level for a task. or knowing when to ask for subagents. oh, you can have two threads working at the same time and communicating with each other? you can do /side to parallel path and fold that back into the main thread?

which of these things happens automatically, and which do you need to ask for? and does any of this still work the way it did a few months ago?

the list goes on forever. many users of AI are only just now getting comfortable with skills (and probably still writing bad skills unfortunately hah).

A lot of the specific things you learned may have become obsolete. But there's still a gap between what these tools can do and what most people know how to get them to do. Keeping up with that is a skill too, but perhaps not forever.

Would love an option for the steepest route! I run a lot in SF and try to maximize vertical gain on my routes

I've been a trackpad proponent for years, but with Steermouse I've been able to dial in my MX Master so perfectly that I find myself missing it when I travel.

What really took it to the next level for me were adding chord mappings. For example I can hold right mouse button + scroll the thumb wheel to adjust volume. So convenient!

Your point on the harness is interesting. How do you distinguish characteristics of the model from characteristics of the harness?

In the early days I feel it was more apparent. You would frequently see the model making failed tool calls etc.. but now that feels so rare. I'm not confident I can perceive whatever shortcomings of the harness remain.

I was using Context back when it was still Brand.dev. I found it to be a great product- one of those rare APIs that immediately made a problem I had disappear. Had it in production within an hour of signing up

Agents need clean/current context from the web, and this is the best way I’ve found to give it to them. The internet is clearly moving in this direction: companies are starting to realize their sites need to be legible to agents. Some are already adapting but many haven’t yet. Context feels like an important part of that transition

Yahia is a great builder. His pace of expansion has been impressive, excited to see where he takes Context.

I like this - I think you're not too far off of what's popular these days though. I think similar functionality can be achieved by using the "hook" functionality in claude code / codex.

Congrats on the launch! This is really cool - one of the applications of LLM I find most compelling. I've seen so many back office processes that have hundreds of steps, are incredibly error prone, and traditionally couldn't be automated due to API limitations. Solutions like Skyvern are going to supercharge businesses that have had historically low margins due to the number of humans required. (Not as a replacement for a human, but as a force multiplier)

Only if you require text message based two factor. Password managers like 1Password allow you to store your OTP within them and share that + the password internally within your team
