Hi, as the LLM models are getting smarter in coding tasks, we will soon be using agents as co workers, as current tools like github copilot and cursor are not optimized for team collaboration, we began building PhantomX, please give your feedback, if you think we are in the right direction or what should be changed for finding the optimized development workflow which works for both humans and agents.

this feels pretty spot on, most of us are already letting agents do the most of our work, and the real bottleneck is setup, context and collaboration. A team and organisation level workflow like phantomx feels like an evolution of how engineering teams will actually work going forward. Great blog

Thanks, we had addressed our pain points, happy to see that you resonate with it!

Love the direction. Human–agent collaboration is the real next frontier—not just better autocomplete.
