Maybe give us several detailed examples of how you have used agents to solve real life problems.

I’ve been using AI solely for chat / brainstorming and to this day haven’t found a process where I know beforehand all steps in order to scale it with an agent. I do understand what it is, but not how it can bring value to me so far…

Here ye go: . Let's say you want to know how to do something, so you ask Claude how to do it. Create a new folder on your desktop, for example. . 1. Me: Claude, how do I create a new folder on my desktop? 2. Claude: Here are the instructions for how to do that. 3. /me follows the instructions. They do not work. 4. Me: that didn't quite work. Here's the error I get. 5. Claude: Oh, that makes sense. Here's an additional step to fix that. 6. /me follows the modified instructions and they work . Simple. . Now for the agent version, we install an extension to Claude that allows it to interact directly with my computer. Imagine we're giving Claude a bionic hand to type things into the computer instead of my hand doing it. And Claude writes the instructions in a way the bionic hand can follow instead of how I would need them. Those instructions are the "agent". . Then we replace /me for the work I would have done in steps 3, 4, and 6 with Claude's hand. . Now imagine that we just remove the physical hand and let Claude type directly into the computer instead. That's (a simplified version) of what Claude Code does and what agents are.

The problem with DEVs is the same problem with lawyers and doctors. You use terms and phrases that the layman doesnt. You quickly forget that at some point in your life when you were learning coding, that there were 100s and 1000s of words that you didnt know what they meant. You had to be taught. And yet for some strange reason, the memory of a learning curve becomes forgotten and you attempt to educate others based on where you are NOW and not from the novice level of where the pupil is.

Laura Cybert :
Concrete examples work better than vague, generalized ones. Start by asking your viewers to give you a list of common goals they have by using AI. Are they trying to automate email responses? Build an app? Build a marketing strategy? Then, pick one goal and show them what agents they might like to set up and use.

The 1 in 4 who get it immediately? They're going to run circles around everyone else in 3 years. I build agents and even I struggle to explain it. Best analogy I've found it's a worker you hire, give a job to, and manage. That's it.

JL Picard :
One of the strangest phenomena I find is that if you truly understand what's going on, the introduction of new terms like agent or loop can be confusing, because we're retroactively assigning names to things we're already doing, which causes me (and I assume others) to feel like there's some new method of using Ai and we're falling behind, only to find out it's just describing using Ai in different, and admittedly better, terminology. Never in my life have I seen technological innovation outpace our ability to speak about it, and it's very fucking interesting

Agents are just buzzwords. An agent is just an LLM in a loop with access to tools.

There are all kinds of folks talking about AI for devs and engineers. We need more folks digging into how knowledge workers can better leverage AI. Think of roles like project managers, operations folks, etc who could multiple their impact with AI but most leaders, companies, and influencers aren’t talking about how to actually solve today’s real world problems.

Jojo57 :
The issue is that these LLMs were sold as a simple to use tool that you use natural language with to get what you want. Then they kept layering in more complexity. What was supposed to be something with zero barrier to entry suddenly became something with a lot of added complexity.

user31 :
maybe overly simplistic but I just say chat's a brain, the agent is the brain's hands and now it can go do stuff for you. it seems to register.

An AI agent is like a smart digital helper that can understand a goal, figure out the steps needed, use tools or information, and take action to get something done. Instead of only answering a question, an AI agent can do tasks, like researching a topic, writing an email, checking a calendar, organizing data, or helping manage a workflow. The simplest way to think about it is this: regular AI gives you answers, while an AI agent can help do the work.

stefan.outloud :
Calling it an agent and saying it’s a little guy doesn’t help with that the ”what” question. People claiming they create agents and giving them names doesn’t help either. The comments here are full of people being helpful explaining agents as vastly different things. Is Claude code the product an agent? Is your instance of Claude code the agent? Is the project setup with md files the agent? Is a scripted bot calling Claude code with specific prompts at specific steps of the process the agent? Is the instance running a single prompt (for minutes/hours/days) the agent? I’m not sure where you’ve answered this question, but it wasn’t in this video. I understand LLMs, but I’m an old dude that had to study semantics in development in the early 00’s, so to me this thing about ”agents” being an undefined entity somewhere between space and time that has no agency is just PR bs. And I’d say most of the ”1/4 people” that you say it just clicks for will have differing definitions beyond the ”little guy” analogy.

if i go out with my friends I no longer feel like I have anything to talk about. they aren't interested in this and I now spend most of my free time studying and experimenting. its a lonely place

Remember how MySpace was the go-to place, but then Facebook and other social media platforms emerged and completely took over? The key difference was intuitiveness and ease of use. That’s the breakthrough that’s waiting for someone to present it to the world and take over. However, it hasn’t been developed yet, and the complexities of setting one up now are still too challenging for most people to comprehend. That’s it.

Wyatt :
This is why I think Agents as a named concept will be short lived. There will be personified, probably named “workers” with memory and tools, but they’ll be built into tools and systems with better names.

Where do we start if we want to start using agents instead of just an lllm?

I would never use an agent because of the token consumption. I have researched this and I’m not an expert at all, but from what I understand, you talk to the agent and that’s so many tokens, then the agent talks to an AI that’s so many tokens, then the AI talks back to the agent that’s many tokens, and then the AI agent talks to another AI or develop something and that’s so many tokens and all of a sudden you have this massive amount of tokens you used if you have Unlimited budget sure that’s a powerful, awesome tool but for the average user they will be maxing out their token usage just doing basic things. I did a legal defence using AI and no lawyer. Over 3 1/2 months and I would max out the tokens just me asking and getting the AI to research and make PDFs. If you have Unlimited budget, this is great if you don’t like the average person, it’s not good.

Scraggie :
I feel dumb because I don’t know how to access them -- I get the concept when using a tool like Make or Zapier to build automated workflows (that can incorporate Gen AI), but that’s it. Anytime I ask ChatGPT or Claude to do something second-level, it claims it can’t. I know there’s something I’m missing here.

When I explained to somebody, I start with a question. “Have you ever watched Willy Wonka, and the chocolate factory?”

PPatBoyd :
it's a UX problem. When you ask a q "in ChatGPT" that's an app the user opened to type in a text box. Layering in agents confuses that paradigm; when are you working with an agent, or not? is it a mode in the app that's on/off everywhere? Can you manage agentic contexts independently? What's happening locally vs service-side? it's not cleanly cut at the application layer where most folks are used to when using their devices.

I get it. How do I? Where are the agents? What do I do? How do I set one up? What is the most useful use case?

Scott Trepper :
An agent does something while you do something else. A roomba is an agent. Highly recommend Chris Noessel's book "Designing Agentive Technology". He described this technology and how to design it years before AI hit the scene.

All the AI software is a giant black box. This is why everyone is so confused.
