Reviewer scorecard
“Revolutionary approach to prompt engineering. Optimizers find better prompts than humans can write manually.”
“Pre-built AI agent tools for common integrations. Saves building web search, browser, and email tools from scratch.”
“Steep learning curve and the abstractions can be confusing. For most apps, good prompt engineering is faster.”
“The tool abstraction is the right level for agent development. Standard tools that work across frameworks reduce duplication.”
“The idea that prompts should be compiled, not handwritten, is correct. DSPy is ahead of its time.”
“A standard library of AI agent tools will become as essential as standard libraries for programming languages.”
