My fireside chat about agentic engineering at the Pragmatic Summit

Are We Really Engineers?

This is part one of the Crossover Project. Part two is here and part three is here. A conference talk based on this work is now available here. I sat in front of Mat, idly chatting about tech and cuisine. Before now, I had known him mostly for his cooking pictures on Twitter, the kind that made me envious of suburbanites and their 75,000 BTU woks. But now he was the test subject for my new project, to see if it was going to be fruitful or a waste of time.

Introduction

Strix the Stateful Agent

Meet Strix. I built Strix initially just as a hack project, but it’s become a tremendous help. But also, it’s gotten a little weird at times. Strix is a stateful agent. An AI that remembers long after the conversation is finished.
