Positive Futures for AI - 4. Document

Introduction

• I’m trying to work out how to use AI well
• I’ve set up a dozen agents to work on 6-10 projects
  • [VIDEO] here’s what they look like doing it
• everything from a stock market investor
  • [TAB] show constellation
• to a nuclear reactor designer
  • [TAB] show reactor design
• this is what I’ve learned
  • [TAB] show diagram

Findings

• Give them context
• Give them a job to do
• Measure how well they do it
• Repeat, with lots of them working in parallel

The loop: context, a job to do, a measure of how well it went — then round again, with many agents at once.

• abstract, disconnected

AI where you work

• connected
• seeing what I’m seeing
• access to what I’m working on

Action-based chats

• uploading files
• modifying and downloading files

Folder-based local chats

• modifying local copies
• version control
• refer to old screencasts
  • using git
  • publishing markdown

Other environments
