alt Hacker NewsIs the value prop that I can see what the agent is doing? This is not the way: https://youtu.be/R_2-ggpZz0Q?t=158
How am I supposed to get anything out of this? Consider that agents are going to get faster and run more and more tasks in parallel. This is not manageable for a human to follow in real time. I can barely keep up with one agent in real-time, let alone a swarm.
What I could see being useful is if you monitored the agents and notified me when one is in the middle of something that deserves my attention.
This is a fair point, we are exploring progressive disclosure on the canvas to better utilize the space and make the key artifacts more readily visible. We do have other panels (the chat, task and deliverable) that have alternate views of what the agent did and the key deliverables.
Beyond human auditability, the canvas helps the agents do a better job by generating in parallel, exploring branches and passing context to each other in a structured way.
