The Neuron: AI Explained
How 48% of Non-Engineers Are Shipping Production Software (with Retool CEO David Hsu)

I'll keep on using tools and I'll get to the outcome, basically.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How 48% of Non-Engineers Are Shipping Production Software (with Retool CEO David Hsu)

And

The Neuron: AI Explained

That kind of loop where you allow an LLM to go use tools to accomplish things in the real world, it does not really exist outside of Cloud Code and Cursor right now.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How 48% of Non-Engineers Are Shipping Production Software (with Retool CEO David Hsu)

You can imagine if you applied that to writing, if you applied that to podcasting, if you applied it to even my job, I think there's a lot that an LLM could do if it had access to all my documents, if it could do things for me, if it could send Slack messages for me.

The Neuron: AI Explained

They could do a lot, actually.

The Neuron: AI Explained

But right now, there's just not that much infrastructure set up.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How 48% of Non-Engineers Are Shipping Production Software (with Retool CEO David Hsu)

And that's, I think, the premise behind our agents product is can we give LLMs or allow people to go build these kinds of agents, these custom agents, give them custom tools, and say, hey, LLM, give them these tools.

The Neuron: AI Explained

I want you to go from this input to this output.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How 48% of Non-Engineers Are Shipping Production Software (with Retool CEO David Hsu)

And it's really pretty effective.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How 48% of Non-Engineers Are Shipping Production Software (with Retool CEO David Hsu)

Yeah.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How 48% of Non-Engineers Are Shipping Production Software (with Retool CEO David Hsu)

So it's actually a little scary actually to use it for the first time because you basically just say, Hey, you know, I want you to get to this outcome and you have five tools and go nuts.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How 48% of Non-Engineers Are Shipping Production Software (with Retool CEO David Hsu)

And let's see what happens.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How 48% of Non-Engineers Are Shipping Production Software (with Retool CEO David Hsu)

We have many safety features built in where you say, Hey, you know, maybe you want to approve all tool calls and stuff like that, but you can also YOLO it just like in cursor reading.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How 48% of Non-Engineers Are Shipping Production Software (with Retool CEO David Hsu)

So, Hey, don't ask me, just go use the tools and go nuts.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How 48% of Non-Engineers Are Shipping Production Software (with Retool CEO David Hsu)

And so.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How 48% of Non-Engineers Are Shipping Production Software (with Retool CEO David Hsu)

What we've discovered is when you do that, actually, now LLMs can do a lot more.

The Neuron: AI Explained

Because, I mean, you can imagine if you ask ChachiPT, so I'll come up with an example.

The Neuron: AI Explained

I think there's one customer who is looking to automate

The Neuron: AI Explained

many internal workflows.

The Neuron: AI Explained
How 48% of Non-Engineers Are Shipping Production Software (with Retool CEO David Hsu)

Basically, it is, I think it's a bunch of IT workflows where, whether you want a new laptop, for example, or, hey, I got locked out of Okta, I need you to resell my password, stuff like that.
