“Very early on, we were putting lots of facts into a vector database and doing embeddings and pulling them back out using, you know, reverse look of embeddings. Rag that actually worked, but turned out to be much more complexity than was actually required. So, …”

Dreamer pays AI tool builders proportionally based on agent usage

Dreamer uses continuous evaluations to dynamically route tasks across AI models
“Dreamer actually uses all of the state-of-the-art models. As a user, you don't have to think about, should I be using, you know, Opus four six, or should I be using the five four model from OpenAI? We are continually doing evals and so forth to make sure that …”

Dreamer isolates application sub-agents within dedicated virtual machines
“Any application on Dreamer can kick off a sub-agent to do a particular task. So this actually is a powerful agentic harness that runs inside of its own VM.”

Singleton: Dreamer keeps tool interfaces stable while updating underlying models
“So the point behind these, though, is that we'll keep the interfaces stable, so they'll always work. But, you know, the best translation model, and, you know, there are people using this translation tool to translate Chinese podcasts into English. It's pretty …”

Dreamer architectures AI agents as modular, composable tools
“To some extent, Dreamer does make its own tools in that agents appear to the system as tools, so they can be used to accomplish things. So you can build an agent that is essentially a tool”
