haha, i used @openai operator build, deploy, and open source a tool on github using @replit agent.
took about 30 min, here's an ~8 min supercut video
thoughts:
- while working with replit agent, it actually deployed the app, tested it, and described the error back to replit agent for me
- operator asked me a few more Qs than i wanted, but it was mostly for safety (eg filling forms) so i guess okay with it
- it had trouble with a few things around UI like knowing it needs to scroll a page to see the rest of it, and it needed pointers to find the git feature in replit
- once it found the git feature it didn't need my assistance to create a repo and open source after having the agent write a readme
while a bit slower, this was even more automated than replit agent (especially testing features and working through errors) - which is impressive
would be nice to have: push notifications for when it needs my attention, and voice mode capabilities
