Early feedback on AI-powered agent tools

The conversation centers on users' hands-on experiences with an AI agent platform, highlighting installation difficulties, inconsistent tool performance, and system stability issues. Both users appreciate the concept of chat-based interaction combined with autonomous agent capabilities but note the current implementation is immature and buggy. Practical use cases such as integrating with Obsidian vaults and running in constrained environments were shared, emphasizing caution and the importance of backups. The dialogue provides actionable insights including the need for better installation processes, improved tool reliability, clearer user feedback during long-running tasks, and thoughtful management of token usage to control costs.
