Optimixed Overview
Optimixed's original report on this story.
Digiday reports that S4 Capital's Monks is deploying AI agents to run autonomously on internal software coding projects for extended periods—up to 36 to 48 hours or several days for larger projects. According to Wesley ter Haar, chief AI and revenue officer at Monks, the approach works because code is rule-bound and precise; agents receive clear requirements upfront and can maintain consistency without supervision. Multiple agents collaborate on multi-day projects, testing and reviewing each other's work as they progress, with scaffolding and task coordination now automated rather than manually engineered by developers.
