@prasenx Having it do useful stuff without prompting it

[Karim Hawi @karimhawi]

I spent the past few weeks building deep context about myself for my agent, with the goal of making that context portable across any harness/model.

My expectation with Astra was:
Give it goals, context, and permissions → let it decide what needs to be done → proactively work toward those goals without me defining every schedule/task.

So far, I haven’t been able to make that work.

Schedules still feel like “wake up and execute this predefined thing” rather than “wake up, understand my goals, decide what matters, and act.”

Maybe my agent architecture is wrong. Maybe I’m expecting too much from current models.

For people actually building autonomous agents: what am I missing?

Or is “give an AI a goal and let it run” still mostly AGI hype?

@AdamHoltererer One can dream

@LinneaReilly20 It would have been nice if we could have gotten a taste of grok 4.7 before the accounts expired.

[Karim Hawi @karimhawi]

Theory:
Grok 4.7 will be released after 3 days, once the free accounts that where given out expire.

@thsottiaux @udiWertheimer That is when my weekly rate limit resets.... Hopefully this is a banked reset.

[Karim Hawi @karimhawi]

@thsottiaux can you confirm there is a reset by tomorrow?

[Karim Hawi @karimhawi]

@cherry_mx_reds How do you guys know?

[Karim Hawi @karimhawi]

@kellyroman @adcock_brett A lot cheaper then hiring a company to clean your house, take care of your yard and fix your car (if we still own cars in the future)!

[Karim Hawi @karimhawi]

@adcock_brett Call me crazy, but I would rather spend 20 k on humaniod robot then a mac studio.

Wonder how much this would actually cost.

@boardyai Not doomer anthropic.

[Karim Hawi @karimhawi]

It's been a few days without any releases or drama.

This is boring. Did they slow down?

@chamath I am not a big fan of Meta. But that is commons sense, glad some companies working on AI still have it.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

“Meta delayed shipping Muse for several months to focus on safety and security. We didn't call for everyone else to do this before we would. We just did it as part of our day-to-day work because it was clearly the right thing for people and for us.”

@gdb Work sucks, replace it with bots.

[Karim Hawi @karimhawi]

@Layton_Gott I need codexbot and gpt 6 sol.

[Karim Hawi @karimhawi]

@thsottiaux @Jaytel That would be awesome if we can get bots running on Astra in codex!!!! Please do it on Dev Day!
