I've always wondered what it would be like if we reversed the roles. I remember people claiming they had gotten better results if an agent started asking the questions.

What if we had an agent-to-agent network that contacted the human as a source of truth whenever they needed it. Keep a list of employees that are experts in said skill, then let them answer 1-2 questions.

Or are we speeding up our replacement like this?

What if a search engine queried YOU? That’s the question (I guess).

I had a prototype where the agent primarily worked autonomously, and it could solicit human feedback via tool calls. But yes that pattern does feel like it is hastening the apocalypse.

Interesting! Feels like a good way to write docs/memories. What I like about loop is that it runs the interactive TUIs so you can answer questions in both sessions (not just the main worker). It is not human multiplayer though (but that would be cool).

I like this idea, I’ll experiment with it as part of a brainstorming skill to make the agents ask clarifying questions (to each other and to the human in the loop).

Hint: how did these humans become experts in that area? Definitely not by using AI.
