AgentScript

A few weeks ago, I was staring at a system prompt that was 127,000 tokens long. One hundred and twenty-seven thousand tokens - just the system prompt. Most of it was, you guessed it, tool schemas: JSON definitions for every possible thing the agent could do, most of which it would never touch in any given run. My solution? I propose AgentScript: a code-first execution language where the LLM can only interact with the outside world by writing programs.

Year of Discovery

  • Theme for 2026

After exiting FirstQuadrant, I find myself at a crossroads that's both scary and liberating. For the first time in a decade, I have a clean slate: I'm not pivoting, no longer racing against a runway, not trying to make something work; I can actually choose what's next based on what resonates most. I want to explore ideas. Carlo and I are spending a few hours every other day thinking about new concepts, talking to users, and validating problems. But this time, I'm not rushing to build.
