Are we all going to have one agent or are we going to have agents that specialize?

And if we are going to have them specialize, how do we get them to specialize and what should they specialize in?

And I think what we have found so far is specialization is definitely a thing.

Um, even if you have this super smart, always on alien intelligence that could technically go across all different functions, somehow having, having it just focused on being a good, you know, marketer makes the whole thing better and it fits in our brains a little bit better.

Um, and the, the other really nice thing about the way that clause work is because your reputation is on the line for them.

Because people see them as yours.

It's a little bit like your kid.

Like you don't want your kid messing up because it reflects on you.

And so people spend a lot of time making sure their claws are good.

And I think that's like an underappreciated thing.

benefit of this whole setup where it has a personality and a name and all that kind of stuff is like it activates all the all the stuff in you that makes you want to care for it make it good and by it's the same thing it's literally the same thing um and by caring for it and making it good it's writing software to make itself better and uh you solve you solve a lot of problems in ai with like around trust and all that kind of stuff through this weird mechanism that you wouldn't

Yeah, totally.

I agree.

And I think that there's this thing, this other really interesting benefit of them is that they're connected to everything.

So they know about everything in your whole life, in your whole work life.

And that makes them fundamentally more useful in a lot of ways.

And yeah, like if I'm doing something like serious coding or serious vibe coding, if that's a thing, I'm really down to use codex usually.

Yeah.

And like a little bit of cloud code.

And it just feels like nothing's going to get lost.
