Finally, finally we have a true and worthy successor to “AI” as buzzword. It’s “Agents” ladies and gentlemen.

Make sure to put it into your pitch as often as possible.

Computers, desktops, and now we have these things called "Virtual Machines".

Meaningless buzzword central.

Agent Intelligence or "AI"

Doesn't "AI" already stand for Apple Intelligence, so that might be a bit confusing...

Because Copilot implies a human working in tandem with AI. An agent is an autonomous process. The goal of agents is to remove any human agency from the process. Need software done? It won't be a human's job. It will be the agent's in an iterative loop.

I understand why. Most products claiming to be agents today are simply prompts.

but worse! there's no tools or RAG/data yet...

No memory, no reasoning, no planning.

We just have to wait that LLaMA does it, then suddenly they will have it.

Mistral is like FitGirl Repacks for LLaMA.

don't forget about agentic workflows
