No Priors
Building an Autonomous Delivery Experience with DoorDash Co-Founders Andy Fang and Stanley Tang
“What could my agent know about what I want to eat or what I want to, um, buy from a grocery perspective? Like, help me understand, like, how you think about richer context or how to be smarter there.”

Report this moment“Like it could be something as simple as, I don't know, like, like like dirt covering one of your camera sensors. Okay. Like, how does it— how robust is your autonomy stack able to, able to handle that? Like, there's some, there's some leaves on the ground, uh, but it only cove...”

Report this moment“How do you think about building it with like working with a harness, right? So open code, Codex, you have your own pool CLI tool, basically getting people to use it, the co-design of model harness. Training it in?”
ConceptAgents
Report this moment“we see incredible ability for complex harnesses that built lots of prompts around and extra data sources and other tools to really push capabilities of models forward.”

From Living Room Hack to 30 AI Agents at Cyera
“that's shared to all the agents and explains kind of how to walk the graph and what a Cyra agent should behave like.”
ConceptAgents
Report this moment“5 or 6 tools per data source, and then there's the generic tools. And those are all read-only. And there are a few write tools that involve actually solving problems, like performing a code review, posting a comment somewhere, submitting a pull request.”
