It seems that agents, in general, have suddenly become more powerful. Aside from Devin, there's a YC startup, agenthub.dev which essentially allows you to build agents via a point-and-click interface.

It seems that agents, in general, have suddenly become more powerful. Aside from Devin, there's a YC startup, AgentHub.dev which essentially allows you to build agents via a point-and-click interface. They're marketing it as a replacement for robotic process automation (RPA), which, incidentally, has nothing to do with robots. I suspect you'd refer to this kind of agent as 'mundane utility' as compared to Devin's potential; nonetheless, it seems remarkable to me that the power to create AI agents will be given to those who have no technical knowledge at all. At least with Devin, it seems that you need some familiarity with coding before you can use it. That does not, of course, imply that Devin is safe, per your points, but it somewhat limits the potential number of users of Devin.
I should add here that I haven't actually used either Devin or AgentHub yet, so I'm basing my comment on other people's reactions to both tools.
