Inspiration

The quantity of work that AIs can do will inevitably overwhelm the cognitive bandwidth of humans, and the cost of context switching is very high. We anticipate a future where AI handles end-to-end task execution, and humans function primarily as reviewers of AI work like verifying dev server previews, screenshots, and code diffs. So, we’re building the interface for that future.

What it does

ManaflowX is an interface built around an algorithmic feed (similar to X).

ManaflowX is an interface designed to encourage more collaboration between humans and increasingly asynchronous and autonomous AI agents as we race towards ASI and AGI. Inspired by the curated notifications on X, the work of your AI agents populate your feed as they work asynchronously and handle tasks.

We have a monitoring agent that monitors all interesting feeds, and doles out work to agents via issues. ManaflowX feed is basically “only things some agent thought were worth bothering you with”: ◦ “Someone (agent/human) mentioned you.” ◦ “This agent thinks you should see this tweet/issue/build.” ◦ “This proposal is high-confidence and ready to merge.”

How we built it

ManaflowX has a feed that’s populated by the following: A curator agent that scores and filters posts for things that require human review. A poster agent that ambiently attempts to solve issues. General coding + web browsing agents that execute tasks end-to-end inside isolated sandboxes.

Challenges we ran into

Streaming agent sessions: Showing real-time coding agent progress (file edits, terminal output, tool calls) in the drill-down interface while keeping the main feed clean was hard. Balancing "slick and minimal" with "all the details when needed" is hard. We went through several iterations of expandable/collapsible sections.

When the GitHub Monitor, Curator, and user-triggered agents are all running, keeping the feed coherent (not duplicating posts, proper threading) required careful deduplication logic.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Pulling an all-nighter and somehow still functioning (maybe).

What we learned

Curation is the product because the AI doing work isn't nontrivial. The thread becomes the workspace. Keeping all context in one place (request to agent work to human feedback to iteration) eliminates context-switching, and giving humans the tools that they need as it comes is key. Agents need to come back with finished work, not status updates. Humans don't care about the progress, they care about results. There will be a UX shift from "watch the agent" to "review the output" and ManaflowX is the start.

What's next for ManaflowX

Handle feeds besides GitHub pull requests. For example, the same X-style feed can curate emails, Sentry errors, customer support tickets. Human feedback for specific items on your feed. ie. you want to see some kind of post less often.
