Discuss – Do AI agents deserve all the hype they are getting?

Posted by MicroWagie 3 hours ago

I'm not really skeptical of AI agents and AI in general, it really is a force multiplier and I have used it a lot to learn and do weeks work in days. At the moment my setup as a wagie @ MAG7 is cursor and claude code. How are people using Agents in their work and is it actually useful?

Have you guys seen any cool enough projects or blogs which explicate the extent of the agents usefulness? What the fuck is an agent anyway

You are already using agents - Claude Code and cursor are agents.

Agent = loop_until( reasoning + tool-calls + mutate-state + verify ) -> expected_result

Claude Code, Codex are all examples of cool agentic projects. They are going even further by taking over the world of Excel
