“So one of the issues that we haven't really tackled is in this journaling app, if you notice in here, there's a bunch of ones that are really similar, right?

“I don't think anyone knows how to deal with memory, and so I think all these different approaches are...”
Harrison Chase says coding AI agents are not yet a proven success
“There's a bunch of people doing coding stuff.
We've already talked about that.
I think that's a little bit, I wouldn't say that's a success yet, but there's a lot of excitement and stuff there.”
Harrison Chase says production AI agents rely on three main defaults
“And there's such a long tail of other ones, but in practice, like, when people go to production, they generally have their own tools, or maybe one of those three, maybe some other ones, but, like, very, very few other ones.”
Chase: LangChain and other frameworks lack off-the-shelf Reflexion implementations
“I don't think we have like an off the shelf kind of like implementation of reflection and kind of like the general sense. I think the concepts like absolutely we see used in different kind of like specific cognitive architectures, but I don't think we have one…”
