Michael and I agree on something very important:
The model isn’t the hard part; everything around the model is.
To build useful agents, focus on context, permissions, integrations, and reliability.
In other words: harnesses are crucial to the experience.
Fryd Wiatrowski (@frydwia): Excited to welcome @MatlokaM to @viktor_com.
Michael was hire #5 at @posthog and is one of the best product engineers I’ve ever met. Really excited to have him here in Warsaw.
A product is a reflection of the people who build it. Another elite builder means even more delight
