Highlights
.@rileytomasek just showed me an agent that's shipping code to prod for dexa. It’s not a copilot like cursor, it's like another teammate/engineer. Didn't realize we were here already.
under the hood it’s an agent network running in a vm with ability to use terminal, open files, search codebase etc.
