So everyone's building their own personal Jarvis. We integrated the BabyAGI python script with our internal Slack bot for task delegation. The hype was thick enough to cut with a knife.
Initial results are predictably… mixed. It’s great at generating a list of “research X” or “draft email about Y” tasks. Actually completing them autonomously? Not so much. It got stuck in a loop trying to book a meeting room because our calendar API returns a 409 conflict. The script just kept retrying the same call with the same parameters for an hour until we killed it. The “autonomous” part feels like a very generous interpretation.
We’re now using it as a fancy, over-engineered checklist generator. The Slack integration works, but it mostly just posts those lists to a channel where a human has to interpret and action them. The cost/benefit is questionable.
