Great! I see that further down in the website, which I did not see before posting this comment. I think this could be valuable to demonstrate / communicate in the billing platform demo which is the first thing you see, and is what captured all of my attention (i never even scrolled down).

Edit: I just re-ran the demo and it seemed way faster this time??? the first time it said GOAL: PRESS_ENTER... (agent proceeds to think about it for 5-8 seconds) which seemed hilarious to me.

got it, I only looked at the website not the youtube video you posted above, my apologies. On the website, neither the billing platform demo nor the screenshots in the section below convey this value prop very well. Both sections show what appear to be trivial flows without explanation of some of the underlying complexities.

I suppose if you are hitting your target demographic dead-on with your marketing efforts, the value prop should be completely obvious to them, but still could be more explicit in your differentiation.

replying to myself here... I would be interested to see a more hybrid approach where an AI could step in to help retry / get past failures, or as a way of re-recording automation steps for a flow when something changes, but having AI in the loop for every action all the time feels wasteful at best.

I can totally see the value of agent driven flows for automating flows that are highly dynamic, poorly specified, error prone, zero shot environments, etc, but that doesn't seem to be at all what you are demonstrating here. Maybe your demos could show something more "challenging" to automate?

As someone who has spent a LOT of my time in my career working on browser automation and testing, speed and cost was always key. Even with existing programmatic tools like selenium, playwright, cypress, etc speed and headfull hosting costs were already big issues. This seems orders of magnitude slower and more expensive. Curious how you pitch this to potential customers.

this is actually hilarious because now they can't call it a fluke or an act of god

I want to believe this, and I think I still do believe this... What makes me waver in my position was an interview I gave to an engineer who had previously worked on pedestrian safety simulations at Waymo and had quit over ethical concerns. He wouldn't go into details obviously, but it did make me think... This was in ~2019 or 2020 though when they were still early in their development compared to now.

What is the output format here? an iframe? an SDK i can integrate into my webapp? a whitelabeled URL? a non-whitelabeled URL? where is your documentation?

What model(s) / providers are you using? Are you training on the data that the agent gets access to? Seems like there are some data governance and privacy red flags for anything involving remotely sensitive data...

unfortunately, the techniques you are trying in order to get access to a dormant Github account are EXACTLY the same ones that github gets spammed with every day by bad actors attempting supply chain attacks. You don't have anything that proves your identity any more than any rando on the internet in Github's eyes at least. Everything you have presented here may be convincing enough to me, but probably not to GitHub's opsec policies.

WSJ is paywalled and also actively blocks archive.org crawls / snapshots, so just FYI 99% of people here can't read this article.

I have tried just about every third party CLI / TUI and I personally like Opencode the most. It has the best UX and the fact it natively integrates LSP for the agent to interact with is excellent. It is limited to models available via API, so for example it couldn't use codex at launch.

This article does a good job of comparing functionality between codex and claude, but I see very little discussion here or elsewhere about the actual UX of the CLI tools. Codex is absolute garbage when it comes to the look, feel, and overall polish of the CLI experience (no syntax highlighting, no proper diff displays, no vim mode, poor visual differentiation of user vs agent messages, etc). Claude is a tiny bit better. However, both fall flat on their face compared to some open source agentic TUIs like Opencode, Crush, etc.

Yeah I am curious what the actual resolution of these videos will be. The launch videos on this link will only play in like 360p for me.

Write that garbage code as long as it works. PMF doesn't give a shit about your code quality.

sounds like poor prompt engineering. Devin and Claude can both do better work than many interns I have mentored in my career, and faster too. We likely have many many years until it will be even close to replacing an experienced developer but we are already at the point it IS replacing junior engineers.

Whether you agree or not, the market has spoken. New grad hiring is WAY down. Fresh CS grads are having an hell of a time finding work compared to 2 years ago.
