+An MVP demo is urgent for us. Here are the most important things to do:
+
+- UI: a chat interface, a shell demonstrating commands, a browser, etc.
+- Architecture: an agent framework with a stable backend, which can read, write and run simple commands
+- Agent: capable of generating bash scripts, running tests, etc.
