Why agent-first Link to heading

Most teams still treat AI agents like fancy autocomplete: open IDE, ask Copilot, paste, repeat. That’s a tool, not a workflow. We saw the hype around tools like OpenClaw and Hermes Agent, but many users install them, poke around, and then get lost because they do not have an operating loop for using agents effectively.

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, my job is to redesign the workflow itself: agents handle the repeatable execution, humans review the highest-leverage decisions, and the system keeps shipping.

Lumberjack is a simple Telegram game where players chop a tree while avoiding branches. The objective is to press the arrow key opposite to the side of the last branch to avoid hitting the lumberjack’s head.
