Pluto Demo Shows a Business Agent That Autonomously Fixes Flaky Tests Pending Human Approval
Rasmic · x · 2026-10-09
- The author argues the missing primitive in personal agents like ChatGPT and Muse is custom capabilities living inside the agent, and showcases the business agent Pluto.
- Demo: Pluto clones the repo in a sandbox, runs e2e tests, and finds the checkout flake's root cause — a coupon-field lookup taking 900ms longer on staging, causing 1 in 4 runs to submit an empty code. After fixing the test, 20 consecutive runs pass.
- Key design: the agent has its own inbox, computer, card and memory, and every outbound action (push, email, payment) requires human approval — a team-facing agent that stays on the job.
