Episode notes
Sourceress: An Early AI Agent
- Kanjun and Josh built an AI recruiting company called Sourceress as their first AI agent.
- It used older NLP techniques, not transformer models, to automate candidate sourcing for recruiters.
Micromanagement vs. Autonomy
- Current computers require constant micromanagement and cannot make independent decisions.
- True AI's promise lies in autonomous systems that understand and execute user instructions without constant oversight.
Agent Task Spectrum
- Agent tasks exist on a spectrum of difficulty, from simple bots to more complex, generalizable ones.
- Current agent development focuses on specific tasks, gradually moving towards greater generalization and autonomy.
