> Email is an optimal interface for long-running agents.

Long-running agents are themselves not optimal though. There are a ton of these coordination layers for long running agents now but they don't make any sense under other paradigms

We build "long running" email agents. But it's not really long running in the sense of an agent taking 1000's of actions in a giant loop.

It's more "long running" because the agent takes 4 steps, then waits a week for the user to email it back. We might have a successful client exchange that takes a month, but for the Agent it's 99% just waiting for the next user reply.

Hmm why do you say that? Would love to hear your thoughts
