  • Agents and humans combine into a tick-tock mechanism of a clock.
    • The agent is the indefatigable source of energy: the spring.
    • If the spring unspools in a second, it is explosive and useless.
    • The human is the escapement: the arm that swings back and forth, allowing a little bit of energy from the spring to unspool.
      • Tick-tocking back and forth.
    • Each time the agent waits for a judgment call from the user, it's caught on the escapement.
    • Together, the energy of the LLM and the judgment of the human produce something special.
