But it has this memory dock that it can just maintain for itself about, okay, what are the number one priorities of what we have to fix and prioritize?
Who is responsible for some upcoming work?
Maybe Devon will even tag you on some recurring basis.
And so...
It's been an interesting move to see, okay, how can we actually use Devon for more than just engineering?
Can we actually upstream about the engineering process?
And maybe it's just Devon creating tickets, which then maybe some humans do, but then maybe other Devons do.
You know, we might change it soon.
I guess OpenInspect, in the time you've been around, has there been anything you tried to implement which then you had to undo and do a different way?
I think one of the surprising things we've seen is that a lot of the ways that these separate agents work with each other and you want them to paralyze their work has still mostly followed the same manager, sub-agents regime.
And a lot of people, I think, are excited about this world where you have swarms.
of agents that kind of you know talk with each other all over the place we've actually given devon and mcp so they can just go arbitrarily message other devins and create new devins etc but i guess like it somehow creates like a really chaotic world in that sense and so we've still found that most practical use on a day-to-day basis has been one single event yeah figuring out how to
segregate the work and have other devins work on it in a relatively isolated sense, each with their own boxes, not sharing machines, so there's very little room for conflict is kind of the regime that you have to create today.
I think there will be a revision to that post at some point.
Okay, tell us about it.
I think multi-agents were very much not at all possible a year ago.
You do see more multi-agent experiments today, but you can kind of argue, are they really multi-agents or are they just kind of like tool calls?
You know, like there are people who will create sub-agents to go look for XYZ file, XYZ implementation.
has really nice context management benefits because all of the tool calls and tokens that it spends then get collapsed back to just the answer for the main agent.
There's a lot of benefits to doing this.
