@rauchg reveals why the hardest part of building an agent is not writing the code, it’s identity, a wallet, and compute that doesn’t die:
"The hardest part about building an agent, believe it or not, is not actually writing the code for the agent. Getting them the access, the identity, the wallet, these are the harder parts."
"The compute of the traditional cloud infrastructure was not really designed for this agent era. It was short-lived compute."
"Vercel Daemons, this primitive for backend compute so that something can run for as long as it wants and respond to events. It’s like an agent that lives forever."
"Drives. As these agents pick up new work, they need a workspace. Think of it as like the Dropbox for agents."
