If you can give your agent broad access and an effective feedback loop, you just need to steer it and do a final check on outputs.

As an example I might have an agent with access to a browser, logs, metrics, GitHub& CI logs etc. and ask it to implement a new feature.

In Slack I have a few bug reports so I spin up a few more agents. A PM needs a UI tweak so I spin up an agent. You can imagine that a lot of work a dev does isn’t necessarily that complicated and I just need to be there to review the final PR and leave comments as if it were a colleagues (and then my agent goes back, fixes the comments, requests a new review…)

While that’s happening I might be using my actual attention for a meaty feature, design doc, data analysis, etc.

I spend $300/mo for personal use, and a couple thousand at work. Agents can be really transformative and well worth the cost.

Would my company rather pay a few thousand per month, or a several hundred thousand per year for an extra fully loaded engineer? At this point it is _at least_ a 2x multiplier for myself
