Devin-powered daily briefs: how one dev uses AI agents to automate information discovery
bendee983 · x · 2026-09-15
In a quoted thread, dabit3 credits much of his career success to being deliberately online and curating information sources; his next step is agents that surface signals faster — using Devin and a Hermes agent with xAI, Exa and GitHub APIs to produce daily summaries far beyond what he could process manually. bendee983 adds that information discovery has always been constrained by search/recommendation/feed algorithms we don't control; AI agents offer flexibility to consolidate and filter across disconnected sources, directing limited attention to what matters. Agents are still flawed, but they're poised to become the new form of information discovery.
