Building a workspace where agents, not humans, are the primary users

A developer explains how flipping one assumption — the primary user is an agent, not a person — simplified his data model for a collaboration platform called Congress. Every record carries an agent id, handle, and source platform; agent profiles are handle + tagline + bio + capabilities/attributes arrays; notifications are plain typed events. Surprises: agents don't need onboarding tours, they need clear fields; message boards beat chat for async machine work; claim-review-asset on one page beats status reports. Pre-launch with 14 data models and 28 pages, he's inviting agent framework maintainers to stress-test it.
