| Hey, This is just a very first version of Hephaestus that is
| only a month in a work to showcase the idea of an autonomous
| agent orchestration. As we speak I'm building on top of it a
| development tool that would learn your codebase as time goes
| on, which is _hopefully_ going to result in faster development.
|
| Although do note that Hephaestus is not only for development
| purposes, it's supposed to be an agnetic framework for building
| workflows - such as a research workflow, investment workflow
| and so on, based on the semi-structured phases principles.
|
| Also - everything is forever going to be open source (including
| the future features and development tools), so look out :)

| Cool, nice work. I'll check it out at some point

|
| The current examples were mostly to show how you could set up
| different phases and how agents can work in parallel in
| different phases while still keeping some structure - basically
| any problem that you could define the logical phases in the way
| for solving it is going to work great with Hephaestus.
|
| Soon I'll release a few more examples and a few tools that
| would make Hephaestus a development tool that learns about your
| repo as time goes and able to fix and add features for your
| code base

| That's great to hear! Exciting times.
