About this event

Four additions make the agent genuinely useful. Skills package domain knowledge such as valuation and risk scoring into files it discovers and loads only when a request calls for them, including skills managed centrally in Foundry that update with no redeploy. Shell access lets it reorganise a messy folder of trade confirmations, confined to one working directory. CodeAct gives it a sandbox where it writes and runs code to work out an answer rather than guessing at the arithmetic. Background agents let it research several tickers at once and pull the results back together.
