Maybe use cases.
What do you find to be the biggest things that your clients are trying to do with their cloud agents today?
Yeah, as soon as he's drinking his water, yeah.
Yeah, the thing I wanted to talk about was use cases.
What do you think are the main things that your clients come to you today about, hey, this is why we want to go set up cloud agents?
The only things I'd add on top of that, I think I've seen is like continual security scanning, continual security review is a very big one as well.
The SRE use case, internally, we think about it as auto triage because we just want every message that comes in and that's an alert, that's a bug report to have Devin just start triaging it before anything else.
And we've...
into this use case so much so that we've basically tried to make it so that you don't ever have to leave Slack to interact with this.
So again, making the interactions with Devon super fluid from the moment the report comes in to its response to report and be able to ask it questions right there with full code-based context about all the issues.
very related to customer support as well.
I think one thing that we found is CLIs can sometimes be very difficult for people who aren't technical to go and use.
But an online chat interface that anyone can go and ask questions and is super intuitive and doesn't assume you have any technical knowledge, but does have access to all parts of your code base, super useful for support, for salespeople, anyone who might need to have their questions answered about the code base.
Great call out.
then you know you can kind of determine the budget common numbers that i hear are anywhere from a thousand an engineer up to five thousand an engineer yeah i have not heard anywhere in the realm of like fifty thousand an engineer for a frame of reference we'll get there yeah i've seen i've seen numbers go that high for sure yeah um i think that this is also i think going to be a big theme of the coming year is we're going to see very expensive very smart frontier models
And we're also going to see people who say, you know what, I don't need the Frontier anymore for a lot of the work I do, because the sub-Frontier models actually are good enough for a lot of the work.
I'm really interested in a world where you basically have hybrid Frontier and sub-Frontier systems, where you use the sub-Frontier part to be really, really fast, really efficient, and call out to the Frontier part of the system so that you can still get Frontier performance for the most part.
I might have to make a new post at some point about the return of smart friend.
Yeah, there's a real zeitgeist in the space right now, I think, for companies to want to turn themselves into these autonomous coding factories.
And yeah, we're doing a lot to try to support that.
