What happens when you give a frontier agent access to a full company's history of docs, messages, tasks and more? As I'm onboarding to ClickUp, this feels like an absolute cheat code. "Cursor for your entire job." Full history of the company's thinking, decision making and operations are natively accessible w/ first-party tools and data access. No exaggeration this has reduced the amount of overhead to get ramped up (# of messages sent) by >60%. At Codegen we built an agent that straddles multiple applications - Slack, Linear, Notion, etc. - with many obvious limitations. Agents cannot search Slack historical conversations, for example, nor can you index Slack data. Any question concerning a historical decision is just out of reach. There are clear constraints of fragmentation preventing otherwise extremely capable models from performing productive tasks. Seems the biggest bottleneck to agent productivity in early 2026 is not capabilities or knowledge, it's the politics and incentives around SAAS fragmentation. Very bullish for all-in-one horizontal SAAS and what that unlocks

One of the top use cases for autonomous code agents that has been "solved" by the latest wave of capabilities (Claude 3.7): Comment Codegen on any PR with a modification request ✅ In ~1 year will feel crazy that we never had this before. Similar to better autocomplete.
