I use the term sandbox loosely. They're on a VPS running as user hermes but they share everything with each other in their own user space. I could/should probably improve this. Maybe make th…

Obsidian is like the shared knowledge base that everyone has access to and that I can easily read/review (although I try not to too often). It has architecture stuff, go-to-market section, howtos…

It depends on what you mean by sensitive personal data. I actually don't give any agents access to my main email boxes instead they access a business google workspace that is spinning up. I do se…

that's exactly what I thought too. When I first saw Buzz I was like "oh, finally a reason to look at Nostr."

two reasons that I am moderately confident in: 1) I really want something open source, but most importantly, 2) I want something easy. My experience trying to get Discord and/or Slack to work was…

buzz is how they communicate. they know about each other through a couple of ways: their own stored memory, a Mnemosyne bank, or a shared obsidian wiki. Or maybe they joined a linkedin for bots that I…

Ya I'm starting to see that agents are just "input + llm + some memory + tools + lots of cron jobs".

ya all makes sense. hoping the harness can manage some of the MCP noise. I'm using 5.6-Sol so context window is 1M.

that's news to me. for what?

ya i'm sure there are lower cost options. My droplet is 8 gigs mem which I found necessary for 6 agents.

Not yet. The agents do have access to the web but not really a proper browser. Browserbase or equivalent is next on my list.

That's neat. You could do this with Buzz by just having open room conversations with agents.

(copied from comment above) $48/month for the droplet (could probably be cheaper on Hertzner) and $100/month for OpenAI plan. so ~$150/month but again this could be cheaper with a diffe…

AI is far from doing everything in my setup. just looking for incremental wins to see if my slop machine can be useful.

that was one of my FAQs at the bottom. I want separation of duties and least-privilege so agents can only access what they need for their particular duties. That said, my vision is to eventually build…

this author agrees. hence my attempt at steering part of that trillion dollars for my non-profit which maybe someday might do some good.

it's just like Slack really. I have a DM open for each agent where I can talk direct. But they are also part of individual rooms also where I just need to @ them and they open a thread. They can …

interesting.. does that bloat the context window? I imagine Hermes already struggles with context window size.. been meaning to look into that.

same. I'd like to get to a place where I can have long-running tasks and goals for more over-night working, but it's not there yet.

The extension is still in review in the Chrome store but you can easily install it using the docs.

No plans for other languages at the moment. Right now my business model is to lose a bunch of money. The $5 plan might get close to breaking even. If it gets too expensive and I don't want to mak…

Exactly. I haven't reached the "let 1000 agents bloom" mode yet, so currently I'm spending real headspace managing agents doing work, and that work is all important, so why "s…

thinking about also open sourcing... let me know if there's interest there.
