AI is Getting TOO Smart: One Assistant or Many Tools?

Transcript

1. 0:00from coder dad. Between Google showing off deeper Gemini integration across search, Android and workspace and open
2. 0:07AI pushing codeex forward. Are we headed toward one AI assistant that follows us everywhere or are we or will we still
3. 0:16need different tools for different jobs? Okay, great question. We are in the middle of those two worlds. This is what
4. 0:24what was just described here. So there they're The last three and a half years, the AI tools have largely been these discrete
5. 0:37things that we have to go learn, right? You go to chat GPT, you learn how to do custom settings, you learn how to do
6. 0:43custom GPTs, you learn how to um do prompt engineering and and do structured prompting and things like that. You you
7. 0:52talk into chat GPT. um you get out a result like us as a human are going to the tool using the tool and the tool is
8. 1:03responding and then we're doing something with that you know we're publishing it or we're putting it in
9. 1:07some other chain of craft. The new world where we're headed is a world where whether it's Codeex or OpenClaw or
10. 1:18Hermes or um or or the new Google version of this, the AI the AI uh studio version of this. They've got a consumer
11. 1:27version of it called Spark that they talked about. What these things do is they run 24/7. um they can take action without you
12. 1:42um needing to talk to them, right? You can just give them a goal. In fact, one of the features, one of the new features in
13. 1:50codeex is goal. I have a goal that you will go do this thing for me at some point somehow and that's it. And then it will go off
14. 2:02and do stuff. Now, why I say that we're in between these two worlds, all of the discrete individual tools are getting
15. 2:09more and more and more complicated. They're getting more and more sophisticated, and they still largely suck. They still largely don't quite
16. 2:20give us what we need, right? You know, Opus 4.6 was really good at coding and then they launched Opus 4.7, which you
17. 2:27think is going to be better, but it's actually not. they kind of borked the model and they made it stupider and
18. 2:35and chat GPT is awesome and then sometimes it's not. So the tools themselves are okay but they still require our
19. 2:44participation. All these agent frameworks are all brand new and they're all janky and they are all broken and they they
20. 2:53sort of do remarkable things and then they sometimes don't and they sometimes do. And if you're not super geeky and
21. 2:59want to get under the hood and figure out how to do things like skills and skill management and all sorts of things
22. 3:06like that, they're just kind of a mess. And even if you do all that stuff, they're still kind of a mess. So, we're
23. 3:13in the middle. We're in the middle. We're in the goopy the goopy transition between a world of discrete AI tools and
24. 3:20these agentic truly agentic tools that are going to do things on our behalf. Where we're headed clearly
25. 3:29is we're just going to be able to say, "I want to start a business." And the agents will do their thing and go help you start a business.
