Still figuring it out, but it's been really convenient to have an always-on agent that has access to internal systems and can be triggered by webhooks. Some examples of what we use it for:

- automatically fixing simple CI failures

- getting production alerts and automatically creating RCAs and a fix PR

- periodically checking slow DB queries and finding ways to speed them up.

- creating charts to answer one-off questions about our data

I've tried using it as an on-the-go coding agent as well, but found I prefer more interactive agents, so I can see what the code looks like.

I think the interesting challenge isn’t running agents, it’s reviewing their work. The more code agents produce, the more important provenance, review ergonomics, and trust become. I also suspect repository platforms will need to evolve there over the next few years.
