1. AI Agents Truth No One Talks About

   1. Great information, OP did a bunch of work around getting good information out there that others have said but not quite as well

   2. My top takeaways that you should be aware of:

      1. Agents are not the solution, they’re a tool

      2. Solve your problems with agents first before trying to solve other people’s problems//before trying to start a business

      3. Document everything!

2. An Agent that Finds and Applies to Jobs and Learnings from Building It

   1. First off, let me state for the record that I’m against this kind of bot in the same way I’m against bots that auto-scan resumes - but it is what it is

   2. This guy seems to be doing a bunch of targeting which takes away from the spammy-ness of the project, which is great

   3. This is probably the 3rd or 4th time I’ve seen this post - it seems to be growing every time, so this guy seems to be doing a good job

3. A Practical Guide for Building Agents

   1. He followed the rule! Post links in the comments, not the posts! Yay!

   2. Honestly lackluster post though, would be much better to get more information in the post itself

   3. Surprised that this was this popular

   4. Here’s the link to OpenAI’s White Paper

   5. Another guy posted another interesting paper too: Advances and Challenges in Foundation Agents
