<p>Doesn't apply to every scenario where agents are useful. Think about businesses - most business processes are not optimized this way. They are mostly a conglomeration of hierarchy, relationships, customs, IP, etc. Model development will never cross such paths. Thus, harnesses are needed. A foundational system that covers 80% of business processes has value, and I'm targeting that problem --- <a href="https://github.com/rush86999/atom" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/rush86999/atom</a></p>

<p>I think you've really hit the mark on how the harness should be structured:<p>1. Guardrails - deterministic, social intelligence, team alignment & accountability
2. Learn by doing
3. make it stupid easy for the agent to research and access data
4. DRY<p>Research supports this.

<p>AI is only replacing low-level work. It will eventually move on to high-level work.<p>One missing point: careers that require communication, especially person-to-person, won't be replaced by AI. Why? Because people don't like to speak with AI when they have a hard pain point to solve. It's not about intelligence; it's about trust and relationships that AI cannot replace.</p>
