"I do not think a chatbot is the right interface for travel or e-commerce." - @bchesky "I think the future is not apps. The future is agents, but I don't think they're going to be text-forward. I think they're going to be really rich user interfaces." "Imagine using iMessage to do everything, when in fact every other app has a unique interface." "With e-commerce, you want a very rich user interface. It would be agentic. You can have a conversation with it, but the point is that it has to be more visual."

Starting to hire and retrain for new agent engineering roles for *internal* functions to help get more powerful agents working well on critical business processes. I expect this type of role to be a very big deal over time at Box and other companies. It looks something like an internal FDE, whose job it is to wire up internal systems and get agents working with them effectively. The person will be extremely technical and capable of building secure, governed agents for internal workflows that connect to business systems (like Box, Salesforce, Workday, etc.), and codify workflows in skills. In some cases this person may understand the business process well enough to do it fully, but in most cases I expect them to work with the business directly in an embedded fashion. Ironically, that may introduce another new role on the business side that is more akin to agent product management for internal processes. The key is that you need technical + process people that can span multiple teams or functions in an organization. It’s not about brining automation to a job, but bringing automation to a process. This is going to be a very big trend in most companies going forward. Fun to watch the early innings of what this will look like.

Most AI agent platforms are built for engineers. TARS is built for everyone else. Meet 𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗦, built by @vinit_agr and @jindalish, a conversational AI platform that's making intelligent agents accessible to everyone, not just AI engineers. What makes this different from your typical chatbot? TARS combines three powerful components: 🧠 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁: The brain that orchestrates decisions and planning 📚 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲: RAG-powered retrieval using vector search for accurate, contextual responses 🔧 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀: 300+ integrations including Google Sheets, Notion, and CRMs The platform uses Weaviate as its vector database backbone for semantic and hybrid search capabilities, allowing agents to retrieve relevant information from your business documents, websites, and PDFs with impressive accuracy. But here's the really cool part - ✨𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲✨. We all know writing effective prompts is super challenging, so TARS automatically generates optimized prompts and welcome messages based on your high-level instructions. Real-world applications we're seeing: • Documentation assistants that can answer complex technical questions • Lead capture systems that seamlessly integrate with your CRM • Customer support agents with access to your knowledge base • Multi-modal agents that can handle text, images, and more The live demo showcases an agent trained on Weaviate documentation that could both answer technical questions and capture lead information to Google Sheets - all within a single conversational flow. This is exactly the kind of innovation that's making AI agents accessible to businesses without requiring a team of ML engineers 💚 Huge congrats to the TARS team for showcasing this at AWS Demo Night!
