I would love a world where you could have something that's more expressive than MCP.
That kind of goes both ways.
Not just a set of tools, but a proper system that interacts back and lets it have the right experience with all these interfaces.
And so I think that's the other part is like, actually, we found that when the MCP spec starts to get too complicated, it starts to lose its original promise of being like a simple one-step connect.
Like now, then we have to go figure out how to support all these different variations of things.
And it starts to look a lot like just building their first-party integrations in a lot of these cases now.
Memory can be quite tricky to get right.
Because it's the retrieval, but also the generation of the memory that can be really tricky.
You don't want it to just... Walk us through the Devon memory journey.
Because I know there's been a journey.
The first version of memory that kind of stuck around for a while was a system we have called Knowledge.
And the idea was...
We wanted it to pick up things over time and not need the user to be proactive about teaching Devon things.
So, okay, anytime you remind Devon, wait, no, that's not quite the way you're supposed to use Git.
We actually want Devon to say, hey, do you want me to actually just remember this for the future and for you to just basically quickly approve or reject and for it to build up over time?
Because I find that...
like 95 i think some crazy style like that of the memories that devon has are all through these auto-generated things like very few people actually just want to sit down and write big docs on okay here's how you're supposed to work with the technology etc the generation in the retrieval has been something that we've been trying to tune a lot over the years generation like you don't want it to remember something like like if you asked one time to like oh please open as a draft pr you don't want to be like oh everyone forever now it should get their prs as draft prs but
You do want some common barrier.
Maybe you want to say like, oh, Col generally likes things to be created as draft PRs.
Same with retrieval.
