@gregisenberg sessions + profiles are the boring magic. once an agent can keep context, touch files/browser/tools, and not restart from goldfish mode every time, it gets way more useful.

Still seems kinda convoluted. Hoping to be convinced otherwise. The more I learn about these tools the more I learn how to make my own…which is where the real juice is IMO. More and more I feel like these solutions are drops in a river of paradigm and interactions design discovery.
