问HN：谁从“人工智能代理”中获得了实际价值？
我看到YC的一条帖子：“从OpenAI的DeepResearch到xAI的DeepSearch，我们正在看到向自主工具的首次真正推动，这些工具可以在最少的人类输入下规划、执行和完成诸如研究、外联和编码等任务。”
这让我思考，这些AI代理对任何人真的有用或有价值吗？
我对技术相当了解，使用AI生成代码以加快POC项目的进展。然而，我并不支持盲目地“随意编码”，我认为这很危险，而且在后期修复大型项目时可能会变得更慢。从其他讨论中，我发现许多HN上的人和我有类似的看法——也就是说，使用AI进行代码生成确实有价值，但让一个“代理”单纯为你“工作”可能并不太靠谱。
不过，关于研究和外联，大家对此有用吗？我看到对这些深度研究产品的批评很多。它们似乎类似于总结谷歌搜索的第一页链接，而且充满了在严肃研究中你可能想要忽略的来源（例如，reddit帖子）。所以我对它们的质量持怀疑态度。
我认为另一个可能有用的主题是将大型语言模型（LLMs）作为先进/更简单的RPA工具。基本上，可以想象成基于不同上下文的灵活RPA，这些上下文可以通过文本捕捉。也许这就是所谓的“MCP”热潮的全部意义。
所以我很好奇，谁在使用可以算作“AI代理”的东西（即超越文本聊天/提示的东西），并从中获得真正的价值？

I saw this post from YC: "From OpenAI’s DeepResearch to xAI’s DeepSearch, we’re seeing the first real push toward autonomous tools that can plan, execute, and complete tasks like research, outreach, and coding with minimal human input."<p>It got me thinking, are these AI Agents actually useful or valuable to anyone?<p>I'm fairly technical and I use AI to generate code to make POC projects go faster. I'm not on board with blindly 'vibe coding' though, I think it's dangerous and potentially slower when you get screwed over later trying to fix a large project. I think from other discussions, many on HN are in a similar boat as me - that is, using AI for code generation is certainly valuable, but having an 'agent' just 'work' for you probably isn't.<p>But anyways, research and outreach, how about those, anyone finding use for these use cases? I've seen a ton of criticism on these deep research products. They seem akin to summarizing the first page of links of a google search, and they're full of sources you'd want to ignore anyways for serious research (e.g. reddit posts). So I'm dubious as to their quality.<p>Another theme that I think could be useful is using LLMs as advanced/easier RPA tools. Basically, think RPA with some flexibility based on different contexts that can be captured via text. Maybe this is what this 'MCP' hype is all about.<p>So I'm very curious, who's using what would count as 'AI Agents' (i.e. something more than text chat/prompts), and getting real value from them?
