One of my favorite superpowers of agents is building classifiers. It’s insanely high leverage.
Before AI, you needed a year-round team:
- 3 ML engineers to build the models
- 3 ML infra engineers to scale them up
- 2 software engineers to integrate the parts
- 1 data scientist to analyze it
- 1 PM to manage the product
- 0.5 EM to hold it together
Now, in minutes, you can have an agent generate a markdown file that classifies inputs, then let agents run continuously against it.
Below is a Sentry error classifier I generated at @FactoryAI. But you can build this for almost anything: customer-reported bugs, backend traffic analysis, fraudulent payment activity.
Personal use cases too: categorizing credit card transactions, labeling emails, or organizing documents.
