Daytona is hosting its monthly AI Builders Demo Night on Sept 29 at the WorkOS SF office, in partnership with LlamaIndex and WorkOS, with 378 people registered so far.

Agenda highlights:

Muhammad Annas Hashmi (DevRel at Daytona) on "Your Agent's Slowest Tool Is Its Mouse": every click a GUI agent makes costs a full screenshot plus a model round trip, and only lands if the layout stayed where the model last saw it. Chaining clicks buys seconds of waiting and a context window full of pixels for work a shell one-liner could do. Screenshots are heavy, text is light, and a click sequence is the most fragile program ever written — no variables, no error handling, and the only retry is asking the model again. The talk builds a cost model of computer use: where the waiting comes from, why pixel agents break when nothing is wrong, and the fixes — read structure (DOM, accessibility tree) instead of rendering to an image, write code instead of emitting one click at a time, and cache what worked so the second run costs nothing.
Greg Sabo (Engineering Manager at WorkOS) with a TBA talk.
Yong Park (Member of Technical Staff at LlamaIndex) on "Why Your Agent Can't Read Your Docs."
