I keep hearing: “I’ve seen @activeagents.ai on Twitter, but I still don’t know what it does.” 😪
Including from @adrianthedev.com.
So we got on a call & built an AI invoicing agent together.
By the end: “Okay... now I REALLY get it!”
Here's what finally clicked... 👇

My talk at the last #SFRuby explained how with @activeagents.ai, Agents work inside Rails apps using MVC structure.
Agents are Controllers, with public methods becoming callable actions, great for building chatbots and autonomous operations.
And there's cats... 😺

Stoked to see this come together after the MONTHS AND MONTHS of hard work Justin has been devoting to this.
It’s hard working on something that’s never been done before with no blueprint & you’re just one guy building.
Hoping we’ll have more contributors to Active Agent after this next release! ❤️

FINALLY with complete docs and example apps 😅 so you can get started building truly Rails-native AI apps with Agents as Controllers.
