Former Top Google Researchers Have Made a New Kind of AI Agent

▤ Summary

Reflection has introduced Asimov, a new AI agent that reads code, emails, Slack messages, project updates, and documentation to understand how software gets built. The startup says the system can answer engineering questions better than some leading tools and can run inside a customer’s virtual private cloud so data stays retained by the customer. Reflection is also post-training custom models with reinforcement learning to improve code understanding and autonomous software work. The company is already talking to customers about using the agent for technical sales and technical support tasks.
