[00:00] Christopher David: So we left off wanting this agent workspace to run WANIX.

[00:09] Christopher David: And that worked out pretty well. Did a little proof of concept here.

[00:14] Christopher David: Yeah, this will get interesting. Agents controlling a Unix like Shell plus Go Compiler plus Web App Generator in Browser via Wasm.

[00:25] Christopher David: Cloud artifacts on steroids. Yeah, we're going to dig into this.

[00:30] Christopher David: So I've built this little thing just using Cloud's new artifacts thing.

[00:36] Christopher David: And so I've got WANIX, WANIX there in the

[00:42] Christopher David: I-frame. What if I do this? Yeah.

[00:48] Christopher David: And then there'll be some chests. Okay, so that's like 1, 2, 3, of 1, 2, 3.

[00:55] Christopher David: Okay. In this video, I want to think about like what to do with this, like what we want to actually ship.

[01:05] Christopher David: And I want to draw some inspiration from what Cloud just released with artifacts and maybe what they just launched with projects.

[01:13] Christopher David: It's first worth noting that this interface, I- with this up super quickly using Cloud.

[01:28] Christopher David: I took a screenshot of Devon. And I threw it into this Cloud Chat.

[01:37] Christopher David: I reactivated my Cloud Pro subscription. Damn it. I'll cancel it again once we get this

[01:43] Christopher David: working in open agents. Can you replicate this with Talon? Sure, I'll create a react component of the

[01:49] Christopher David: replicates that you live, oh wow. So past number one, it made this. Used Lucid icon for the spinner there.

[01:56] Christopher David: It's like pretty good for a single shot. I said, remove the create machine snapshot button,

[02:02] Christopher David: make the background back, text, white, and monospays replace Devon with Auto Dev.

[02:06] Christopher David: All right, getting a little better.

[02:14] Christopher David: And then I said, I tried to give it a speck to like learn and kind of have a discussion and it messed something up.

[02:19] Christopher David: But like implemented that and called me, no, no, no, don't do that.

[02:23] Christopher David: You know what, just take that right column and swap in an I-frame to

[02:29] Christopher David: our WANX installation. WANX setup and here's the comment. It's like yes sure.

[02:33] Christopher David: It can't load a Y-frame in there. But I paste it that into a fresh

[02:41] Christopher David: react layer of L site and deploy that. So that works. Look at that.

[02:53] Christopher David: What this enables is the benefits of WANX where we can have an actual

[03:02] Christopher David: file system, including syncing to and from GitHub, to and from deploying sites with GitHub pages.

[03:11] Christopher David: Being able to like have web apps display here, have them be able to tap into a whole bunch of

[03:17] Christopher David: different go code. There's a built-in go compiler here so they can like recompile apps.

[03:24] Christopher David: Like a generate web apps and it can communicate with other users. The WANX

[03:31] Christopher David: demo on the WANX homepage, the last 10 minutes or so they go into like showing how multiple people

[03:38] Christopher David: can use the same session of WANX with data passing back and forth via CRDTs for like

[03:47] Christopher David: editability. So like what this is bringing to mind for me is,

[03:53] Christopher David: like I put here a cloud artifacts on steroids. But like a multi-player cloud artifacts,

[04:00] Christopher David: with open source extensibility, leveraging the whole idea of the plugins that we've already

[04:09] Christopher David: been building for our agents. A Gentic artifacts, a Gentic artifacts.

[04:21] Christopher David: So what I want to do now is step through some of the cloud artifacts and projects, things that

[04:27] Christopher David: they've been releasing, and start coming up with a design for what we want to ship.

[04:35] Christopher David: We've already shipped this like OpenAI, GPT store, clone of monetization. It's cool.

[04:43] Christopher David: But the problem that we have where we just don't have any like truly useful agents. We've got some

[04:48] Christopher David: agents that like people are starting to share and you know good for kind of uploading little basic

[04:54] Christopher David: information. This person like uploaded a bunch of like information that I wanted to like respond

[05:01] Christopher David: creatively based on different people just I don't know, or if I'd shit talking or something.

[05:06] Christopher David: But to drive toward like truly useful things, to be able to do somewhat similar of the kind of

[05:12] Christopher David: things that call artifact could do. But using those same plugins so it's actually extensible because

[05:19] Christopher David: there's a whole bunch of kind of like limitations here. You can like share it. They've got

[05:24] Christopher David: they're doing a lot of stuff right here. But again, it's closed source. It's only using their

[05:30] Christopher David: models. There's no truly agentic behavior. So we just kind of want to use this as inspiration to

[05:41] Christopher David: build out user-facing interfaces that kind of take advantage of all the like architectural decisions

[05:45] Christopher David: that we've been making. This concept is blocked. Because I will say this like the OpenAI GPT store

[05:54] Christopher David: hasn't seen that much usage. I mean, probably in part because they haven't monetized it.

[06:00] Christopher David: But I see all sorts of tweets all over my feed of people happily using this for different things.

[06:05] Christopher David: And like this was super useful being able to whip this together very quickly.

[06:15] Christopher David: Okay, let's step through some of the, so they first launched artifacts, which they did

[06:21] Christopher David: along with Sonic. And I already kind of stepped through that. And they just launched projects.

[06:32] Christopher David: So first of all, sidebar appears when you hover over the far left head screen,

[06:35] Christopher David: star chats. Okay, I don't care about that. Projects. You can now create custom knowledge bases

[06:40] Christopher David: called project with your own files, docs, code, etc. When you start a new chat within a project,

[06:46] Christopher David: Cloud has access to all that info. On the team plan, you can share and collaborate on this

[06:52] Christopher David: project with your team. Okay, custom instructions. Within a project, you have the option to add

[06:57] Christopher David: specific instructions. Yeah, these are just kind of basic UI UX things.

[07:04] Christopher David: All right, well, I guess let's try it, maybe. Projects.

[07:09] Christopher David: An example project that doubles as a how to guide for using cloud.

[07:23] Christopher David: A Bodaicuments code, other files to the project.

[07:27] Christopher David: Cloud prompting guide. Yeah, this is actually reminding me of what we've already built with the

[07:36] Christopher David: agent builder.

[07:43] Christopher David: So knowledge files and stuff. Obviously, their UI is prettier than ours is.

[08:05] Christopher David: Yeah, I mean, it's, it goes to show you that there's a lot more to be done with like

[08:15] Christopher David: rag plus prompt engineering, but just with like different hierarchies of knowledge shared between

[08:23] Christopher David: projects, share between people. My, my stab earlier today at coming up with like a knowledge base,

[08:34] Christopher David: it could be organized more for agents as to like come up with a GitHub repo where I post a

[08:40] Christopher David: bunch of like cleaned up, marked down documents that I'm next going to try to have, um,

[08:48] Christopher David: pull this into the WANIX environment and like give an agent the ability to start learning from

[08:53] Christopher David: this and like making changes directly in the WANIX environment to this, um, like building like a really

[09:00] Christopher David: thorough knowledge base before coding it up. Um, there's so many directions we could take this.

[09:22] Christopher David: There's an interesting comment. It would be amazing if we could connect local folders directly

[09:27] Christopher David: instead of uploading so the project's files got updated whenever I update the files locally.

[09:38] Christopher David: Something close to this would be having it like sync with a GitHub repo.

[09:42] Christopher David: Okay, so I think the first thing I want to build is I want to take an interface, uh, whether it's

[10:10] Christopher David: this particular one or if I kind of rebuild this in something else. I want to be able to sync to a

[10:15] Christopher David: GitHub repo. I want to be able to sync to any GitHub repose. I want to be able to sync to WANIX

[10:22] Christopher David: to ask questions about that. I want to be able to sync to my, uh, like knowledge base that I've been

[10:29] Christopher David: building. I want to be able to sync to the open agents code base and I want to sync to any

[10:35] Christopher David: the interface that I'm about to build, which I might do in a separate code base. Um, so I think the

[10:42] Christopher David: syncing to code base is piece I want to use Grip tile for that code base indexing. Okay, let's work

[10:54] Christopher David: on that in the next video. See ya.
