Developer builds autonomous AI agent with self-prompting loop

A developer has created an autonomous AI agent that operates through a self-prompting loop, moving beyond traditional manual prompting. This agent manages tasks like email triage and calendar organization by employing a propose-execute-evaluate-keep/discard cycle, inspired by Karpathy's autoresearch. The system is designed with distinct components for contract definition, target file editing, and an immutable evaluation function to prevent self-hacking, logging all experiments for transparency. A key design choice involves separating the generation and evaluation steps, often using different LLM models, to mitigate correlated errors and improve overall quality. AI

IMPACT This approach could enable more sophisticated AI agent autonomy, reducing the need for constant human oversight in task execution.

RANK_REASON Developer describes a custom-built autonomous agent system, not a product release from a major lab.

    I stopped prompting my agent. Now I design the loop that prompts it.

    <p>We're moving past the era where working with an agent meant typing a prompt, waiting, reading the diff, typing again.</p> <p>You are the loop in that setup. Your attention is the constraint, not the model. The agent sits idle until you show up.</p> <p>I wanted out of that cycl…
