Yeah, so I think the engineering world is kind of waking up to this idea of background agents, cloud agents, whatever you'd like to call it.
And I think we saw a shift around the December timeframe of 2025, where the models Opus 4.5 and GPT 5.2
they reached a capability where we moved away from kind of hand-holding the model and being able to actually more or less autonomously drive the model.
And what I mean by that is that we could pretty much go from a specification to a completed pull request, assuming the spec was good enough with very little friction.
And that paradigm alone, I think, changed a lot of how we interact with agents and kind of opened this world where background agents became more practical.
Yeah.
Open Inspect came about through primarily my clients observing how they were using tools like Cloud Web, OpenAI's Codecs at the time, and seeing some of the friction that they were having with it.
Primarily, the Cloud Web was being used through Slack.
A big issue they ran into is that the sessions that were launched were specific to whoever called it via Slack.
And so if a PM was the one who invoked the session and they would then go to pass context to engineering, engineering can't see the session.
And that in itself was kind of a deal breaker because the PM said, hey, engineering, can you jump in?
But there's nothing to jump in on unless they're copy pasting out or, you know, the single response that came back.
And so kind of seeing some of these problems, I had built a similar kind of architecture internally just to experiment with, kind of test out different ideas as this trend of moving off of local host was starting to kind of become.
And as Ramp released their blog post, I had a lot of the pieces for this already in place and just thought it would be kind of funny to see what Claude could do just purely from the blog post.
And on my X account, there's actually kind of a thread of where I live tweeted like going through this.
Oh, wow.
Comparing GPT and Claude as both of them are going through it.
Like on the announcement thing or something else?
Right after it got released.
Okay.
