Opinion
Mike Krieger says MCP is more promising for agents than computer use
“To really have agency and have these agentic use cases. Like one way you approach it is computer use, but computer use has a bunch of limitations. The way I get way more excited about everything is an MCP and our models are really good at using MCPs. All of a …”

Insight
Krieger: Context flow limits autonomous AI workflows more than reasoning capability
“We're limited more around like making sure the context flows through all of that. So we have the right access to those things more than the model's capability to reason and propose.”

Opinion
Ugarte: GrokBot succeeded in sales because sales tools lack APIs
“And there are a bunch of tools that sales uses that do not have well-supported MCPs or APIs. And I think that's a lot of what made bot so before and after powerful for this group was these were things that they just could not give another AI tool reliably.”

Insight
Ugarte: AI bots need computers to operate without APIs or MCPs
“It's actually really important that these bots have their own computer. And part of it is what I described earlier of there are a bunch of tasks that don't have well-supported MCPs and APIs. We as humans don't do our jobs by MCPs and APIs. Like we use a comput…”
