Share startups, why you like them, and what makes them worth checking out. Self-promos are good too!
Got to chat with , one of the core members at a new startup called Product Forge today.
They're building a tool that teams can add to their existing meetings, which will then take various actions for you like stubbing out user stories for development in real-time.
We talked about the idea of AI doing the work for you. It seems like with most AI applications right now, we're still in the assistance phase.
Most of the work still falls on your shoulders, but there's AI there to make some aspects of it easier.
Codegen apps like Cursor and Copilot still require you to be coding most of the time.
ChatGPT and Claude are still just there to respond to your queries.
At this point, we haven't really seen any mainstream AI agents with their own agency. Understandable, because it's a full step beyond what we have right now.
There's a lot of work still with the 3rd step:
Understand the context
Decide what problems need to be solved
Execute tasks to solve the problems (NEW)
Instead of working together to solve a problem, where you're hand-holding most of the time, an AI agent actually does the work for you on it's own.
You're really becoming the manager in this context, as opposed to a coworker.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the progress here. Part of what Ouro is about is shrinking all the time we waste on unfulfilling work. As agents develop, I'm confident they'll be able to free us up to work on the things that really matter.
Another part of what we're doing here at Ouro is collecting the tools that agents are going to use. Every service (API) added by the community is another tool that an agent could use. Ouro's agent infrastructure is still in progress, but you add functionality now for agents to use in the future. See our guide on adding services to Ouro.
