Elvis Saravia says agents make it easier to build personal software

AIElvis Saravia says agents have lowered the bar for building software, and he uses them to reduce software bloat rather than add it. He says a simple custom agent harness with SQLite and file-based memory can produce a personal agent comparable to Instinct, and that future frontier models will subsume more traditional software functions.

I like how agents have lowered the bar for building incredible software.

As frontier models' capabilities improve, they will subsume more of what traditional software does.

In turn, making it easier for more people to build complex software.

It's mind-blowing how far you can push a simple custom agent harness and memory system (SQLite/files).

Contrary to how people are told to use agents today, I use them to reduce software bloat.

I mean, it's crazy how easy it is to build an Instinct-level personal agent with simple primitives.

Along the way, we will invent newer primitives that will continue to make it easier to build things.

It's an incredible time to be building your own things. You don't have to wait any more for someone to build things for you. Just ask your agent.
