The app for independent voices
I enjoyed this article by Matt Webb about how to coordinate agents that do stuff for us:
It also made me discover Weft, which I didn’t know:
Matt argues that the best abstraction for agents is teammates, and so they belong to our todo lists. E.g. Linear for work (which jumped on this and smartly released “Linear for Agents”) and… Apple Reminders for our lives.
Personally I don’t use Reminders, I use Todoist, which has an API and MCP server, so I think I will tinker with it 🤔 e.g. I may turn my own workspace in a Team, add a fake person who is an agent, and assign stuff to it.
Has anyone tried something similar?
All this stuff is duct-taped for now, but to me it makes sense. Makes me think that a lot of software may end up adding first-party support for agents as individual users, which is helpful and doesn’t break how we have been using tools so far
