Ask, Steer, Ship: Interactive Agent Runners, Unpacked

​To celebrate Interactive Agent Runners, we’re going behind the scenes with two of the people who worked on it: Vanessa Ramos (Principal Product Manager) and Gehrig Kunz (Principal Product Marketing Manager). KP and Tania will ask them how each change came together, with live demos throughout.

​Agent Runners used to take your prompt and run with it. Now it talks things through with you. It can answer questions about your project without touching a file, or ask a few of its own before it builds. After a run, you can comment on the exact lines of code you want changed. When a task needs more credits than you have left, it scopes the work to fit and leaves your project in a working state, with a summary of what’s done and what’s next. And every public site it creates now shows a rich preview, screenshot included, when you share the link.
