And I think there's a whole interesting line of work there.
But there's this other thing that's happening, which is that I am actually reading a lot of AI writing.
It's doing a lot of writing that I would prefer to read the AI's writing.
I don't want to read a human's writing.
And that's in certain tasks, so like planning, or especially planning a feature in your coding app, or a research report that uses a bunch of our growth and stripe data, for example.
Yeah, right.
I, if I asked a human to do that, or a bug report, if I asked a human to do it, it's just going to be worse.
And the way that agents write documents right now is they write markdown files that are on your computer.
and that's like just kind of clunky and you know if i try to open it it opens xcode and it's just not great so what proof is is when an agent writes a markdown file a plan a research document anything like that it can just like put it in a a a web page that is collaborative so you get a link you can open it you can write comments you can type in it you can you know do anything you would expect in google docs
You can have your agent in there, you can have other humans in there, they can have their agents in there.
So it's a really good way to collaborate on documents between humans and agents.
With the idea that most of the writing is from AI and we also track
and make it easy to see who wrote what so you can be like, okay.
I know most of this is AI written, but there's this little section that was written by a human, and I assume if they wrote it that they really wanted it in there for a reason, and I'm going to pay attention to it.
So that's the idea.
I built it.
There were a couple different versions of it.
I first built it as a Mac app, and then I realized it should be a web app, and so I pivoted it to a web app like two weeks ago.
And it just kind of took off internally at every everyone was using it to share files and plans and all that kind of stuff.
And when we see that, it's usually a good sign like, hey, like we should release this.
