Meta-commentary: these different AI agent systems (frameworks?) sure are good at racking up GitHub stars but don't appear to have any use beyond a fun demo. My impression is that, like AutoGPT, this will simply fall over with anything even mildly complicated. Maybe it's the direction we're ultimately headed, but I'm just far too skeptical given what I've seen so far, and I don't believe we just need the right orchestration of models to pull off useful general purpose AI agents.


I think at least some of it is outright fraud. A lot of these are being pushed by shameless spammers and former crypto hucksters. Some of the vanity metrics like followers and stars can just be bought if you have a few bucks, and boosting those numbers makes it easier to cheat and convince others to give you more money. This cycle effectively pays for itself assuming you don't care about the reputational risks.


+1, SuperAGI’s discord feels very crypto.


I'm sensing it's gonna draw the same low code/no code crowd with maybe 5-10% improvement but the same or worse technical debt


It's more than just a react loop but i think there's promising research in multi gent cooperation. Notice the first doesn't even use GPT-4.

agreed. those initial projects didnt go far and they werent particularly innovative imo. Doubt this is any different
