The action space is just very limited, right?

It can search the web, which means it can use a search tool or a browser in the same way that a human would.

It can make images.

It can do all these things, right?

But it clearly doesn't have the same action space that a human with a computer would have, and that is what we aim to build.

Timing is everything on these pets, right?

And I don't pretend to be great at timing either.

When I look at past attempts that we've made, like the Chachapiti agent, for example, which kind of has capabilities like this, it was just slightly too early.

The models weren't quite good enough to hit real escape velocity.

And the problem is if you don't have escape velocity is that users don't learn to trust it.

They don't even try.

So when you look at a lot of things people were doing in the original version of ChatGPTAgent, it was the things that happened to work, like migrating your file server into the cloud or something like that.

Useful stuff, but very niche.

And as this stuff gets better,

It was a bad software engineer.

But people tried and got enough value out of it that we could take those use cases and make them great.

And I do think we're about to get to that point with general purpose agents where
