What tooling did you use to make the agents cross-collaborate?

Python classes. In my framework agents are class instances and tools are methods. Each agent has it's own internal conversation state. They're composable and the agent has tools for communicating with the other agents.

Do you have a repo for this? I've thought that this would be a great way to compose an Agentic system, I'd love to see how you're doing it.

So, you can assign github issues to this thing, and it can handle them, merge the results in, and mark the bug as fixed? I kind of wonder what would happen if you added a "lead dev" AI that wrote up bugs, assigned them out, and "reviewed" the work. Then you'd add a "boss" AI that made new feature demands of the lead dev AI. Maybe the boss AI could run the program and inspect the experience in some way so it could dem…

> then you add a boss AI This seems like a more plausible one. Robots don't care about your feelings, so they can make decisions without any moral issues

Unless you ask them to follow some guidelines, but I agree with you.

I was interested. Clicked the try button and just another wait list. When will Google learn that the method that worked so well with Gmail doesn't work any more. There are so many shiny toys to play with now, I will have forgotten about this tomorrow.

I already pay $20/month for Gemini, I clicked sign up and had access instantly.

95% of people aren't coders.

1. You are right 2. My guess: even among people who code professionally (e.g. data scientists), the same applies

Speaking as someone who codes professionally, it's too hot outside so I wouldn't mind coding instead as long as I get to choose what I code and when. Which I don't most of the time.

Notice how no-one (up until now) mentioned "Devin" or compared it to any other AI agent? It appears that AI moves so quickly that it was completely forgotten or little to no-one wanted to pay for its original prices. Here's the timeline: 1. Devin was $200 - $500. 2. Then Lovable, Bolt, Github Copilot and Replit reduced their AI Agent prices to $20 - $40 3. Devin was then reduced to $20. 4. Then Cursor and Windsurf AI…

Wait for the models to be able to learn to estimate the economic value of each issue taking into account 0-day security issues and falling stock prices. They will quote you accordingly with a marked up price. Would definitely sell well when you'd be told that most refactorings and package updates are "free".

Langroid has this kind of design (I’m the lead dev):
