Cool - if I'm understanding correctly it's basically an API between different classes of "agents"?

One piece of feedback: the project sounds useful once I read into it a bit more but the headline is confusing since "unifying" can mean many different things.

Hmm in what sense did you think it was meant? Curious. To me it seemed pretty clear but I'm guessing I'm just naive to some corner of the industry.

I had no idea what "unifying" meant at first. The best guess I can make is something that lets humans interact with AI and computer systems, which is super vague.

Maybe I'm just to used to all the marketing speak out there where "unifying" has been co-opted to mean basically nothing. e.g. "We unify technology with human potential!"

Good points. Perhaps “cooperate” is clearer? Or “Connecting”?

Tho at a certain point we’ve gotta reclaim the fun academic terms from the MBAs!

I think what's missing from the title is "actor framework" - omitting it is kinda burying the lede, since the main idea seems to be fitting AI and human workflow orchestration into an actor framework, which is a well known paradigm with a name that immediately evokes the intent of the library.

thank you for this feedback! I was considering something like that. I'm going to make some updates for clarity and mentioning the actor model approach more prominently will definitely be part of it.

thanks for that feedback. If you guys saw my messaging just two weeks ago it was even more obtuse...

I'll work on it some more :)
