Unveiling the Future: Background Agents Solving Chat Interface Issues

Join me, Philip, CEO of Wordware, as we revolutionize the future of AI-powered workflows by harnessing the power of documents and background agents that learn from our actions.

* Philip, CEO of Wordware, discusses the problems with chat-based interfaces and how documents can help solve those issues.
* Chat-based systems create "context pollution" as the context window gets filled with gibberish and garbage.
* Documents provide force clarity and are the original way of specifying more complex systems.
* Chat-based systems have poor version control, limited reusability model, and lack logical grouping or nesting.
* Interacting with a single abstraction layer in chat-based systems means users can't choose how much detail to specify for a particular task.
* Documents are the ultimate way of humans communicating complex ideas and force clarity.
* Concurrency is a significant problem with chat-based systems as users must wait for background processes to finish before continuing.
* Background agents that do tasks in the background can help remedy concurrency issues in chat-based systems.
* General agents are starting to take decisions, but they're not yet widely used due to their lack of importance and high occurrence.
* Human-in-the-loop agents allow for approving, rejecting, changing, or fixing the end output or logic of an agent.
* Implicit or explicit user intent or triggers can activate background agents.
* Organizations will have their own agents and external agents, leading to the creation of a graph of the enterprise of the future.
* A stoic mindset is necessary when dealing with uncertainty in AI-powered systems.
* Humans will manage a bunch of agents and need to imbue their personal brand onto them, taking responsibility for their actions.
* More communication protocols between humans and AI and among agents are needed.
* Currently, only good engineers who are good at both IC work and managing a team can fully take advantage of the AI revolution.
* After brainstorming with an agent, a document is needed to explain what the agent should do for repeatable processes.
* Triggers such as chron jobs or Gmail triggers can activate agents for background processes.
* The consumer market will adopt agent-powered systems more widely in the future.
* Enterprises will create incredible tools that are agentic, and these tools will be used by state-of-the-art models.
* Wordware enables background agents to work, allowing for repeatable processes to be automated with agents.
