Very cool! What's been the hardest part? Have you successfully automated non-trivial communications? (for example with prospects, customers, vendors, partners, etc.)

This describes the project I've been working on since last year, with agents in company roles, deciding on strategy, collaborating, and making progress (admittedly nonlinear). Some parts of the platform are stronger than others. So far the company agents have developed a company strategy and plans for executing it, launched a website and blog, and built and operate two products, one free and one paid.
But I would be wary of using a third party like Pion as a platform for running a business. It's one thing to know that your prompts and responses will be used to train models in the future, by companies that have a huge sea of relatively unstructured data. But it's another to hand over to another company every aspect of your strategy and operations, available to that company in real time and structured in such a way it's quick and easy to understand what you're up to and where you are going. Especially if it's being offered for free and at scale. With a free offering, value creation will likely come from either customer data or from escalating prices once customers are locked in. And even if neither of those happen, you now have a huge single point of failure for your entire organization. Seems like there are lots of strategic risks in there for the users.
