> Curious if you’ve experimented with workflows where agents produce artifacts (files, reports, etc.) rather than just returning text.

Yes! I run a ghost blog (a blog that does not use my name) and have axe produce artifacts. The flow is: I send the first agent a text file of my brain dump (normally spoken) which it then searched my note system for related notes, saves it to a file, then passes everything to agent 2 which make that dump a blog draft and saves it to a file, agent 3 then takes that blog draft and cleans it up to how I like it and saves it. from that point I have to take it to publish after reading and making edits myself.

I'm happy you brought this up. I've been thinking about this and working on a plan to make it as solid as possible. For now, the best way would be to run each agent in a docker container (there is an example Dockerfile in the repo) so any destructive actions will be contained to the container.

However, this does not help if a person gives access to something like Google Calendar and a prompt tells the LLM to be destructive against that account.

I have a few flows I'm using it for and have a growing list of things I want to automate. Basically, if there is a process that takes a human to do (like creating drafts or running scripts with variable data) I make axe do it.

1. I have a flow where I pass in a youtube video and the first agent calls an api to get the transcript, the second converts that transcript into a blog-like post, and the third uploads that blog-like post to instapaper.

2. Blog post drafting: I talk into my phone's notes app which gets synced via syncthing. The first agent takes that text and looks for notes in my note system for related information, than passes my raw text and notes into the next to draft a blog post, a third agent takes out all the em dashes because I'm tired of taking them out. Once that's all done then I read and edit it to be exactly what I want.

I've not heard of that before but after looking into it I think they are solving different problems.

Dotprompt is a promt template that lives inside app code to standardize how we write prompts.

Axe is an execution runtime you run from the shell. There's no code to write (unless you want the LLM to run a script). You define the agent in TOML and run with `axe run <agent name> and pipe data into it.
