Microsoft introduced an Agent framework this week, and it went completely unnoticed. The agent team can browse the internet, internal files, execute code, and more. In this example, the Microsoft team made the agent autonomously order a sandwich. First, an agent: A) Plans - breaking a large complex into smaller tasks B) Acts - including executing code, using more efficient tools C) Observes - processes data to determine the next step D) Reflects - determines whether it was successful in the task The framework, Magentic-One, attempts to co-ordinate multiple agents working together on a task It formalizes this process by making a language model “Orchestrator” asks a series of five questions after each step taken by individual agents: 1) Is the request fully satisfied (i.e., task complete)? 2) Is the team looping or repeating itself? 3) Is forward progress being made? 4) Which agent should speak next? 5) What instruction or question should be asked of this team member? - The Orchestrator also manages timeouts and failures, with an outer control loop, and an inner control loop -MSFT created specialist agents: a Websurfer, Coder, FileSurfer, ComputerTerminal user to work together on tasks -They find that their framework is competitive with (but not beating) State of the Art on agent benchmarks such AssistantBench and GAIA MSFT’s work is interesting as you can visualize a future where firms can provide hyper-specialized agents that are very good at a particular task and can work together with other agents to solve larger problems over time. And maybe we can finally clear the JIRA ticket backlog…

How to analyze a Balance Sheet in less than 2 minutes:

✒️OpenAI's Bet on a Cognitive Architecture I wrote a blog on how GPTs & Assistant API represent a bet OpenAI is making on building a specific cognitive architecture As well as some thoughts on what cognitive architectures currently work and why Blog: blog.langchain.dev/openais-bet-on…

🌶️How to 5x your typing speed and be in a flow state while you type? (no joke) Use my customGPT - The Flow Speed Typist. (link in the next post) It’s a fascinating concept. Bookmark to think about it later. One of the AI’s Superpowers is its ability to understand extremely badly written text. You can type so badly that the words are barely recognizable… But somehow ChatGPT (if prompted right) understands them perfectly. (See the screenshot.) You have to try it to fully grasp it. Cool, but is this useful? It gives the possibility to everyone (no matter if a good typist or not) To type fast WITHOUT the need to look at the keyboard (or the screen) even once, Thus entering a flow state while typing. It's great for: writing longer texts, journaling, brainstorming, and so on. — The average speed of typing for a normal human is 30-40 words per min. (According to GPT-4) The World champions level is around 200 words per min. Everyone who is not a good typist knows that this hinders them from letting their thoughts flow easily through their fingers. This is why many people try to improve their typing speed (or at least think about it). — How to try it? You can do it directly in the GPT, but a better way is to do it in a notes app on your computer. When you finish, just copy-paste the (mess of a) text in the GPT. When you start, just make sure that you’re actually writing. Just type away... Don’t look at the keyboard and don’t go back correcting any mistakes. If you’re on a wireless keyboard, you can even do it without looking at the monitor at all. Like writing on a typewriter. It takes a little practice to get used to it. It can be transformational. — Is it a good practice to type like a monkey? :) This is for you to decide. I’m just pointing out that this capability exists now thanks to AI. That’s it. Try it in the CustomGPT in the next post, if you feel like. Write a comment and share what you think. Also follow me @_borriss_ for more cool AI stuff.

@levelsio I can see this happening at the OS level too. Something that runs locally and just morphs into whatever software you need at the moment. Hopefully they'll call it Morpheus lol

ChatGPT was just the beginning. It's only been 14 hours since OpenAI released their new product GPTs And people are already generating insane results. Here are 10 of my favorite examples...

@awilkinson I’m biased because I work there, but Fey’s SEC filing summarizer is something I use daily. It’s intended to not overdo it because someone who *really* cares about a 10Q is someone who still wants to read firsthand—raises the floor for novices and speeds up professional workflows.

Life luxuries without kids: 1. Traveling to exotic places 2. Dining at nice restaurants 3. Frequent hangouts with friends 4. Free time for personal hobbies 5. Clean house and peace of mind Life luxuries with kids: 1. Actual silence 2. A full night's sleep 3. Going to the bathroom in peace 4. Getting out of the house on time 5. Watching them grow up, learn new things, and experience the world I wouldn't trade #5 for anything in the first list.

Other than the obvious (ChatGPT, Claude, Bard), what are the most valuable AI tools you use daily?

I'm a big proponent of creating personal rules to simplify everyday decision-making and free up mental bandwidth Here are 7 rules I've developed for myself around task management:

the best thing about starting a bootstrapped biz is that i don't wake up to an alarm, can dedicate 3 hrs to meditation & journaling, and then tailor my day to my energy & this doesn't mean i don't have big dreams for what i'm building. in fact, it'll help me get there faster

one thing you learn as you get older: fewer deep relationships >>>> many shallow relationships people who do truly meaningful work do so in small squads of deep contact those with many shallow relationships end up becoming brokers in one way or another

The best KPIs for accounting. Did I miss something?

If you follow the right accounts, you can get an MBA-level education on X for FREE. But finding the right people isn't easy. Here are 10 top accounts that have hugely improved my financial IQ:

How to find great stocks: • ROIC > 15% • Gross margin > 40% • Free cash flow margin > 10% • CAPEX/Sales < 5% • Revenue growth > 5% • EPS Growth > 7% Here's a list with companies which match these criteria 👇

The Cash Flow Statement Explained Simply:

Do good things for others, for no reason at all. It makes life more fun. Transactional relationships are meh.
