So you can like one shot to MVP and then iterate from there.

So in your MVP, see, and then in copilot, we have something called autopilot and autopilots like a Ralph loop.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

You're familiar with Ralph loops where the agent is just that it's an orchestrator.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

It's a similar concept where it will basically feed the agent's output back to itself.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

It's just running the agent in a loop.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source

And it does this until the agent has some amount of confidence.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source

There's this idea of if you tell agents, do this until it's done, they're like, OK, I did it.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

You're like, it's not done.

But if you tell them, do this until you have 95% confidence that it's done, then they will run and run and run and run and run, building up a confidence level.

a lot of that stuff is abstracted into the tool, but then I'm also using a custom mode, a custom agent in that that I call Anvil.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

What Anvil does is it

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source

it does two major things.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

The first thing that it does is it decides, like, is this a easy task, a medium task, or a hard task?

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

Because you want different workflows from the AI depending on what those are.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

It's not the same thing.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

If you ask the agent a simple question, that's an easy task.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Opus 4.5 changed everything (Interview)

It should just answer that.

But if you give it a hard task where you need it to build something, then it really needs to plan.
