Loading... I see so many posts ‘shipping by the beach’ or when out with the kids on the weekend.
Umm, good for you? I’m not sure it’s the flex people think it is.
Remember when we thought AI would take all our jobs so we didn’t have to work hard anymore? Yeah, turns out that’s not a thing. Everyone’s just even more mad for making things.
Myself included. But I do draw the line at 1. talking to agents every second I’m not at my laptop and 2. if I’m with the kids.
Whether that’s just the mental context switching is too hard or I’m just not a very hard-worker. You decide :)
But that’s all not to say that I absolutely want agent access on my mobile for whenever the moment strikes. Unfortunately for me, it’s usually when I should be going to sleep.
I end up just laying there doing the luge while all the ideas swirl around my head when I should be reading + sleeping.

Every AI agent needs an identity. Every action needs accountability.
AI agents are becoming teammates. They should also be held to the same standard. Gravitee gives every AI agent a verified identity, enforces what they can access & records exactly what they did, so agent accountability is built in.
