​Most agents today wait to be corrected. The next generation won't.

​This panel dives into self-improving agents: systems that can reflect on their own outputs, identify where they fell short, and write their own instructions to do better next time, without human intervention. Think agents that spawn sub-agents to critique and refine their work, closing the loop without you.

​Hear these speakers dissect their findings at the frontier of self-improving agents:

• ​Kevin Gu, Founder/CTO of ThirdLayer: sharing findings from AutoAgent, his open-source library for self-optimizing agents (3.8M views on X, 4.5K GitHub forks). A meta-agent experiments on a task agent's harness (tweaking prompts, tools, and orchestration), running thousands of parallel sandboxes autonomously overnight . It hit #1 on SpreadsheetBench (96.5%) and #1 GPT-5 score on TerminalBench (55.1%), beating every hand-engineered entry on both leaderboards.

​Intent Series

​Intent is a recurring speaker series for founders, researchers, and designers building the future of human-AI interaction.

​The best AI products don't wait to be summoned. They collapse the distance between thought and action --understanding what you mean, not just what you say. We get together to discuss insights on building them.

​Capacity is limited. Location will be shared upon RSVP approval.
