Alessio Fanelli: uncertainty

Transcript context

…That's the first time I've ever heard of that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, man. But I think to me, the most interesting thing about the professional networks is like with people, you have limited availability to evaluate a person. Yeah. So you have to use previous signal as kind of like a evaluation thing. With agents, theoretically, you can have kind of like proof of work. Yeah. You know, you can run simulations and like evaluate them in that way. Yep. How do you think about that when running, building agent.ai even? It's like, you know, instead of just choosing one, I could like literally just run across all of them and figure out which one is going to work best. I'm a big believer. So under the covers, when you build, because the primitives are so simple, you have some sort of inputs. We know that what the variables are. Every agent that's on agent.ai automatically has a REST API. That's callable in exactly the way you would expect. Automatically shows up in the MCP server, so you're able to invoke it in whatever form you decide to. And so my expectation is that in this future state, whether it's a human hiring an agent to do a particular task or evaluating a set of five agents to do a particular task and picking the best one for their particular use case, we should be able to do that. It's like, I just want to try it, and there should be a policy that the publisher or builder of the agent has that says, okay, well, I'm going to let you call me 50 times, 100 times before you have to pay or something like that. We should have effectively like an audit trail, like, okay, this agent has been called this many times. We also have kind of human ratings and reviews right now, and we have tens of thousands of reviews of the existing agents on agent.ai. Average is like 4.1 out of five stars. And all those things are nice signals to be able to have. But the kind of callable... Verifiable kind of thing, I think, is super useful. Like, if I can just call... Give me an API that says here are five agents and it solves this particular problem for me. If I have like a simple eval, I think that'd be so powerful. I wish I had that for humans, honestly. That'd be so cool.…
