Have you personally deployed anything based on agent results (predominantly)? I'm just trying to gauge if the current state ("early days") is actually worth investing time and money in from a professional perspective.
In my experience, hype often precedes actual usefulness by a significant margin.
TL;DR are we there yet?
I put significant effort in constructing the product & project requirements beforehand and have built a number of simple tools as I ran into roadblocks or inefficiencies, so I can attest to there being a large amount of hype. I can also comfortably state that without the use of LLMs, I would not be this far along.
Having a background in software development (UX side) and a deep interest in technology gives me some insight in to which questions to ask and when to “throw a flag” and ask the LLM to explain why it’s doing something. I don’t believe the hype around one-shot enterprise applications, but the current state of AI programming is usable if people take the care they hopefully would with their own output.
