Why social-media AI demos look strong but your AI feels weak: the Agent four-piece framework
yangyi · x · 2026-10-16
KOL yangyi argues the gap between impressive AI demos and your underwhelming experience comes down to the Agent "four pieces": the base model (pick per task), prompts (use optimizers if weak), memory (inject expert knowledge via context or skills), and tools. He says harnesses boost models by strengthening the other three and connecting them—why products built on the same Claude Agent SDK (Claude Cowork, Workbuddy, NewMax) perform so differently.
