Yes! You can just do things. We just had a talk by Subhashree Parthasarathy where she built a Mission Control Dashboard for her agents. Then she realized she wanted a Slack-like interface to communicate with them, so she built it!

Agent Mission Control: Watchjng Your AI Agents Work, Live

Your Al agents are working right now: writing code, running tests, opening PRs, mostly invisible. In this live demo, Subhashree shows a Rails app built to make that visible: live status, current task, and a running log and timeline for every agent, updating in real time.

"Hi Jim, I didn't get to say thank you in person. But I wanted to say I'm really grateful for you organizing XO Ruby! I have a toddler, so traveling to a conference in the last 2 years was not on the plate for me. So having a conference happen in my own city was great! Thank you!"
