> I think from other discussions, many on HN are in a similar boat as me - that is, using AI for code generation is certainly valuable, but having an 'agent' just 'work' for you probably isn't.
Then isn’t this a terrible place to ask your question? The echo chamber is just going to reinforce what you believe to be true.
Do you think the vibe coders getting a lot done are going to be sitting here arguing with the Never-AI-stans of Hacker News?
(This is NOT a sarcastic comment) Yes, everything else being equal, describing our company as AI Agent for X made it investable and not seem out of place among all the AI Agent for XYZ companies. You don't need to do "agentic" stuff to get value from AI agents. It's honestly a bit gauche to start a company in 2024/25 and not call it an agent.
AI Agents are a lifestyle
The AI companies. Nvidia. That's it. That's the list.
Not right now, but I will as these evolve.
I would love an intelligent agent I can converse with via both voice and text that has access to all my information, privacy be damned.
"Agentic" is a fad/hype.
Software applications with more intelligent interfaces get us closer to a bicycle for the mind. LLMs are already a part of some of those.

GPT-4o already one-shots Leetcode hard with just a screenshot. I know, it's trained on the answers. But it clicked in my head that if you give the LLM a very detailed specification + tests to the level of detail that Leetcode does, you might actually be able to one-shot any code you like.
Over the weekend, I made a game. It's heavily dialogue based. I wanted a screen and game content that centers around this gameplay. It's not a classic VN, more customized like Ace Attorney.
It's a free game so I need an intro that hooks people in the first 30 seconds. What examples are good for this? Since there's few games like this, I look into movies. I don't want that scene from Inglourious Basterds, that's too fresh. There's a lot of good stuff in classic film, before the 80s that nobody has seen. These movies had to carry themselves on content because they didn't have special effects.
And that's where DeepResearch comes in.
I'm looking for specific films that fit the tutorial of the game that I'm trying to build. Without going into details, there's 4 mechanics I want to squeeze into the tutorial level. I'm looking for specific scenes that capture these mechanics.
One intent is "How do I get players to not skip dialogue like they would with a VN?" AI's interpretation of this is "scripts that encourage impatience". I didn't even know what question to ask, and it helped to rephrase my intent into the right questions then find examples of those.
It wrote a 6000 word essay, plenty of citations, some with clips. I don't have to spend a couple nights watching Psycho or The Night of the Hunter. I can just jump straight to the clips I want. I can skim 24 different movies in the same two nights.
