300 agents and not one link to the app: calling out swarm demos that only show dashboards
weswinder · x · 2026-10-20
The author sharply criticizes the current wave of agent swarm demos: demos claiming to run 300 agents always show you the dashboard, but never what the agents actually built.
His benchmark is blunt: if your agents really shipped something, you'd lead with the product. His conclusion — any swarm demo without a link to a real product should be assumed to be nonsense.
