@ikoukas Do they have an agent / prompting package? This will resolve NO if not.

@jgyou they have chat with workspace and code modification via prompting. It does refer to it as agent

@ikoukas That's not an AI engineering package and is unavailable on PyPI for tracking.

@jgyou Okay, I concede

@ikoukas Sent you 100M to reimburse the costs.

@jgyou wow, thanks

Anyone can add answers. I just went with packages on my own radar.
