Latest update (11-11 09:57): Elvis Saravia says agents make it easier to build personal software

Overview: Elvis Saravia (@omarsar0) says AI agents have lowered the bar for building software, and he uses them to cut software bloat rather than add to it. In a post on X, he says a simple custom agent harness built with SQLite and file-based memory can produce a personal agent comparable to Instinct. He also says future frontier models will absorb more functions that traditional software performs today.

The report is a single post by Saravia, with no supporting data, benchmarks, or independent evaluation of the comparison to Instinct.
