AIP Assist is great to fetch documentation, but I can see this developing to a tool non-technical employees can quickly build & iterate on their enterprise ontology. Not to mention unlocking small & micro (side-gig) business markets whose individual revenue is too low to dedicate a physical engineer, especially if it assists with connecting data sources! The speed of platform development is so fast, you will soon need an AI tutorial generator to keep up with the changes 😅

@thelastnode sounds like a lot of buzzwords to me. remember, context is key. can it really deliver, or just more hype?

Alex Prompter11 months ago

@thelastnode sounds interesting, but curious how practical this really is. will it change day-to-day work or just add more steps?

openai’s third agent ships today “the third that is coming is what we call 'A-SWE', or agentic software engineer. this is not just augmenting the current software engineers in your workforce… but instead it’s literally an agentic software engineer that can build an app for you. it can take a PR that you would give to any other engineer and go build it; but not only does it build it, it does all the things that software engineers hate to do. it does its own quality assurance, its own bug testing and bug bashing, and it does documentation—things that you can never get software engineers to do.” — sarah friar, openai CFO, early march
