🎙️ In the latest episode of The Analytics Engineering Podcast, Tristan Handy sat down with Yohei Nakajima to talk about the rapid experimentation of AI agents. Yohei, an investor by day and coder by night, built an AI agent framework called BabyAGI that creates a plan-execute loop. If you give it a goal, it will create a plan to achieve this goal, and then go execute on this plan. In this clip from the podcast, Yohei breaks down 3 buckets of AI agents and their impact on our future. Listen to the whole episode at the link in comments 🔗

Our CEO and Founder Tristan Handy shares what he believes users *should* expect from a mature analytical system: • Users should be able to discover and directly interact with the artifacts from a mature analytical system without having to go through any intermediary humans. • Users should be able to trust the correctness and timeliness of data from a mature analytical system. • Users should be able to delegate their own access to a mature analytical system to their chosen tools and agents. • Users should be able to straightforwardly investigate the provenance of any data element in a mature analytical system. • Users should be able to view a history of all state changes to a mature analytical system. • Users should be able to leave feedback on any element of a mature analytical system. • Users should be able to ignore the implementation details of a mature analytical system. • Users should be responsible for the costs associated with their usage of a mature analytical system. • Users should be able to use as many resources as they are willing to pay for from a mature analytical system. • Users should be able to choose the environment of a mature analytical system they interact with.
