I was interested in the beginning for CI/CD, but then they tried to take a kind of "AI-oriented" view in order to ride the AI wave, and the value prop of their tool was completely muddied up...

Same, the marketing was even worse a few months ago.

This looks interesting but I’m trying to understand it in more layman’s terms. Is it more about providing abstractions for llms to work within to do things?

It’s actually a CI/CD as code tool, where some pieces can be LLM agents.

But, the marketing heavily focuses on LLM stuff to the point of making everyone confused.

Dagger was something I looked into two or so years ago before they got consumed by the LLM and AI agent hype, and while the promise of being able to run the exact CI workflows locally seemed excellent, it seemed that there's basically no way be a Dagger user without buying into their Dagger Cloud product.

I ended up opting for CUE and GitHub Actions, and I'm glad I did as it made everything much, much simpler.
