How do you make sure that the working environment of the agent actually stays up to date, has all the credentials it needs to, let's say, run the app and test it and all the things you want your autonomous- So many people set up.
Yeah, exactly.
So internally, at Cognition, we call this repo setup.
The hardest part of it's been a perennial problem since the start of the company of how do we help people get the setup?
Because not everyone just has working cloud environments, working out of the box.
Do you find this to be a common problem with your clients?
Yeah, and you mentioned Docker Compose.
I think one direction we saw some of our friends take early on was using Docker containers as the level of abstraction for their models.
There's lots of reasons, I think, why Docker containers are not great.
One thing is like Docker container is not really a true security boundary for one.
But the other is like, if you are running real applications, a lot of times those applications use Docker.
And then you have to think about Docker and Docker, which is like really weird.
And so I think part of the really hard challenge of getting VMs to work, why did we do that?
Well, it was because we realized that you actually needed full VMs to be able to do these types of things.
And especially nowadays where there's actually value in running the application and clicking around and sending you screen recordings of these things, the value just kind of keeps adding on top of that.
But it is a decision I see people run into when they try to build their own systems is, in addition to this, do we put the agent in the machine or out of the machine?
Do we use Docker?
Do we use something else?
What do you recommend people nowadays?
Another thing that we've been thinking a lot about is kind of like different VM service offerings.
