Ya'll worried about AI Coding slop, when there as an entire army of n8n experts who are installing unmaintainable visual workflow spaghetti in small/medium sized businesses at scale Literal merchants of complexity. Its so much worse than using claude code. It's an artifact of being stuck 6 months in the past and n8n is all you know.

@karrisaarinen Yes. I’d take it one step further you should proactively ask employees where the friction is. Great use case for @trywindmill pulses

Every company needs a “friction form” for AI. You file it when procurement/IT someone is blocking you from being productive. Then the friction needs to be resolved within a week.
Chintan Turakhia@chintanturakhia

Yet another example why larger companies have challenges with AI and are not seeing productivity gains. They want to use AI, but they don't change the environment for it to operate successfully. Procurement/vendor onboarding was a bane for us @coinbase too, until we simplified it for the sheer number of AI tools we wanted to try. 90% of the simplification was around approval chains and human coordination (no surprise). The remaining was security and data, which is worth the time. - Enable small pilots - Try them on OSS repos first - Parallelize contract approvals and security reviews - Be opinionated about the risk of tools (e.g., code review agents vs. iOS simulator tools have very different risk profiles). And Zip sucks.

@ryancarson My goal today is full worktree support using portless. Slowest part of my process right now

Your homework for today ... Spend 8 hours completely optimizing your code factory and all of your agentic harnessing. It's tedious and frustrating, but it's worth it. I spent all of yesterday cleaning out automations, getting agent browser testing refined, culling skills and helper scripts. Really fine-tuned my code factory, and wow, it is worth it.

@ryancarson Why not just have that flow automatic from symphony? Are you going back and forth on the plan?

This works well for me: 1. Plan mode in Codex on xHigh 2. Copy markdown plan 3. Paste md plan into Linear issue and Symphony takes it all the way to human review (or auto merge of low risk)

Mainly the information density seems a lot lower. Lots of wasted whitespace where I used to love how nothing was wasted in the interface. For example on the issue page the whitepace between top bar and issue title. Don't love the floating things on the right. I personally don't think consistency across different types of pages is that important. But maybe it will grow on me. Just initial thoughts.

@_maxdshaw @linear What’s the regression? Very possible we didn’t catch everything in this first pass

Have the people praising the new @linear UI actually used it? Big regression based on first day of usage. Will report back in a week to see what I think

@benjitaylor This has been the thesis for @trywindmill from the beginning. We started with slack but we'll expand to all the other places where people are already working.

Another ui.sh before and after… not trying to blow anyone away with over the top flashy stuff, focusing on the little details that add up to make things look polished instead. More work to do but definitely better if you ask me.

We're building a sleep agent that predicts your night before it happens. Then optimizes it while you sleep. This is what AI in health actually looks like.

@kevinbai0 @waseem0x This is very cool. We have a much simpler architecture. We allow our internal agent to spin up dashboards on demand. Each dashboard has the data embedded and we host each on their own vercel project (behind vercel auth). Just static html.

our agentic dashboard builder went live last week and 76 dashboards have already been built. it has fully democratized our data work and no one logs into retool anymore. (shoutout @waseem0x for building out a custom TV control plane over the weekend to control them via agents)

@austinnickpiel Stupid question. From a compliance perspective Soc 2 requires human review (at least I think). How do you get around this.

We've moved our entire code review lifecycle onto Automations. Cursor will approve and unblock changes that are low risk and automatically assign reviewers based on commit history for changes that are medium/high risk. There is so much power in transforming historically static processes (*all* changes must be reviewed by X people) to dynamic ones (# of reviews scales with risk of the change).

We're introducing Cursor Automations to build always-on agents.

We built an internal agent named Pim. It has access to our data and has ability to make "dashboards". Simple web apps we host on @vercel . I hope they mean it when they say "unlimited projects". The best part is everything loads instantly since data is preloaded and Pim can use judgement to figure out how to layout the dashboard. I can't share the data but it's so cool. 100x better then static dashboard apps or excel. Calling them generative dashboards.

I have a clear mental model for two types of agents, but I'm less clear on a third. Can anyone help me out? 1. Delegated agents: They assume the user ID and act directly on behalf of the user account. Example: a delegated agent helps a programmer setup a Clerk integration by signing in and retrieving keys. 2. Autonomous agents for B2B SaaS: They get their own User ID, but are part of an existing tenant in a B2B SaaS. They have their own set set of permissions. Example: a business is operating a chatbot for customer service, and the chatbot needs an account with various services to help customers with their questions. 3. Completely standalone autonomous agents: An agent gets their own user ID, and it's not connected to a tenant, so they start with a brand new, empty account. Do you have a clear use case for this third type of agent? How would your agent use a completely fresh account with a service?

@FlyaKiet @casoxbt @superset_sh I find cmux super intuitive for this. As part of my setup script (or something similar) I want to pre-setup a workspace. For example I always want graphite in a tab. Also seeing some perf issues with superset. Memory / CPU spikes
