Track fast-moving news topics with dedicated agents
The author runs separate agents to keep up with news on infosec and AI, proof software like Lean, world power shifts, AI generally, and agent harnesses. ·
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- For a month or two, the author has used agents to keep up with fast-moving news. Each agent covers its own topic: infosec and AI, practical uses of proof software like Lean, changes in world power dynamics, AI generally, and changes in agent harnesses. The post doesn't describe the tooling, the sources the agents read, or how the author reviews their output.
- How it went
- The author says they have used these agents more and more over that period. The post is a short note and gives no results, numbers, or limitations.
