This is where I was going to say something about dagger, but it seems it turned into AI crud.

Let me at least recommend depot.dev for having absurdly fast runners.

Hello! Dagger CEO here. We are indeed getting an influx of AI workloads (AI agents to be specific, which is the fancy industry term for "software with LLMs inside"), and are of course trying to capitalize on that in our marketing material. We're still looking for the right balance of CI and AI on our website. Crucially, it's the same engine running both. Because, as it turns out, AI agents are mostly workflows under the hood, and Dagger is great at running those.

I shared more context in this thread: https://x.com/solomonstre/status/1895671390176747682

can you give more feedback about dagger? what is good/not good about it? I was going to start looking into it

I liked their setup before, though I never got around to actually using it, but the tagline on the website has changed to “AI powered workflow orchestration”, which is quite different from the original “Write pipeline once, run everywhere”

yes but I went on their Discord, and the AI thing is more an "extension" of the CI/CD thing, it's just marketing-speak for the investors, they are still building the CI/CD tool

For starts looking at their website, it looks like all collaboration is locked behind proprietary platforms… Discord, Twitter, LinkedIn, Microsoft GitHub.

Look into it; it works, more or less.
