JAY RENOLDSKY THANH NGUYEN We do these tutorials and just teach people Spark.
I mean, I think among our group of founders, it was clear that I think he'd be the best at this.
And yeah, it turned out great.
And he's, I mean, he's ramped up on so many topics going a company.
He would just go in and like study it and, you know, talk to all the experts.
Like even if he can't hire the person, you know, learn enough about like finance and sales and whatever it was.
And, you know, I'd go from there.
people are exploring this sort of meta harness concept what led you to it yeah there were actually a couple of like converging lines which i think is a good sign that you need something new so on the one hand there's all the coding agent in for internally we have a really great uh dev infra team uh they built something called isaac that's basically like a wrapper on cloud code and and codex and uh lets you use them either on the web and like
sandboxes or just on your dev machine or on your laptop or whatever.
Then they were adding all kinds of stuff there.
We saw all the more advanced engineers were building their own workflows with tons of agents and they were building their own UIs and stuff even on top of that.
And then the other one was like us building agents.
We ship this like data science agent called Genie on the research team, which I co-lead basically.
We also build a lot of internal ones for various things.
And then we have all the customer ones and all of them running into this thing of like, oh, I need to switch
model and harness and so on every few months.
Plus, the agent is completely useless if you can't share sessions with someone and have history and have search and all this layer on top of it for collaboration.
a bit about it from both contexts.
And at first people thought it was weird.
They're like, why are you doing coding agents and custom agents in the same thing?
