    That's exactly it! I've absolutely loved the empowered my AI coding has brought me. This is about bringing the same to the end user with no technical skills!

    Hey. This is a fair remark and logical too. It's build to run in a sandbox on other OS now to ease uptake. Asking people to install a new OS because "trust me bro" is not gonna wor…

    There is a build in filesystem handling system. For example, if you ask it to build a Todo task agent it will need to persist the tasks and their state to disk. It knows which sysc…

    Yeah there is a pneuma agent/app store for that. And security permissions are built in also. pneuma asks for approval for the different rights the agent needs before running.

    This is built with the paradigm of "don't build for the model of today, build for the model in 6 months" It currently works, which amazes me still, but it will get much better!

    Thanks for the great feedback. That's why there is an app store in pneuma. You can upload and download pneuma generated apps from others. Give it a try!

    Voice is a great idea! On the backlog. Also pneuma already supports iteration/edits. You can say "edit my pong game so the paddles are pink" and it's smart enough to do it.

    Yes that is definitely still gonna be necessary and it's why I build on a store where people can upload their apps/agents. There is a loose community section and in the backlog I h…

    Thanks! Playbit is a cool project, I've followed it. The key difference with Pneuma is that the programs themselves are AI-generated at runtime. There's no toolchain the user inter…
