What are the different levels or parts of tools available for vibe coding and agentic AI?
ASKED BY · Unknown · 13 OCT 2026 · ▶ 00:28:50
There are three parts: basic chat with internet search, agent-level tools that execute tasks with machine access, and personal assistants that run 24/7 in the cloud to autonomously perform work.
Summarised by AI from what the panel said. Watch the moment for the full answer.
From the transcript.
Machine-transcribed, so it may contain errors. Every timestamp opens the episode at that second.
28:49Jackson, you there? Yeah. So the tools that you get these from is like, there is three parts to it. So the third part just came out and the basic, the basic owners, the basic offering, they give you like the chat box and it has, it doesn't have any agency capabilities. So it doesn't do things for you. So if you ask something, it can go into, go to the internet and search it for, search it for you and give you a clear answer for getting your question.
29:29So that's the basic part and the agent thing is the second one. So this is also similar to the chat box, but it can do things for you. If you give it access to a machine or like a cloud computer, it can actually create software for you to fix issues in your operating systems and stuff. of. So this is the agent part. And the third thing is like the personal assistant, just
30:05like open AIS DOTS and other bots that actually stay there on a cloud computer and do work for you like 24 seven, just like a personal assistant you have in the real world. So I'm hearing that there's different levels of assistance you can get through these bots that at the basic level, it's not going to go out and do a whole lot of things without your permission.
30:37In the interim level, kind of in the middle, you get more agentic help. And at the top level, it can literally go do things without your being involved in them. So I guess there's some control there over how much you want the agentic AI to be an agent for you and how much it just is going to be an assistant, which seems like a sensible way.
31:00Am I getting that right, Jackson? Yeah, correct. And the third personal assistant thing can run 24-7 on the cloud. And if you ask it to book you some flights, check train schedule and stuff, it can do it for you. It can log into your account if you give it, give you a credential. And it can do almost every stuff you can do in a computer.
31:28Well, that's good because let's say that you're asking it to book you a flight from wherever you live to London. And that's obviously information that may change over the course of the next 24 hours. So if it's an active agentic agent and it's sitting, agentic agent, that's not an accent, pleonism. Anyway, if it's looking all the time, maybe it can find something even better between the time you make the query because it's constantly monitoring things.
31:56That's against the other side of it where I'm fascinated with what Guy just said that I wasn't paying attention and it looked at more than I really wanted it or expected it to look for. Didn't hurt me in this particular case. But yeah, I don't want it to be going, hey, I just noticed that your renewal of service A is coming up in a week, so I went ahead and paid that for you.
32:22We may have some issues having to, I wonder if you can, can you punish your agent? Anyway, this is way too complicated now, so let's get to the next question. Coming in from Houston, Texas, Peter Belbin is asking, I find that generated code often provides a solution, but a review of that code finds issues, and it can require a lot of iterating to resolve all the complaints.
