One of the questions you will often hear in the years to come, answered in a clear, concrete, and hype-free way.

Enjoy!

What is an AI agent? | AI Enhanced Engineer A field guide for engineers: the loop, the autonomy spectrum, the harness, and demo-to-production reality, with working code.

Agentic Software Engineering — Pulse #2. Three things that landed this month:

• You can now steer a coding agent's behavior from inside the model — drift is a measurable signal you can correct on the fly.
• More compute isn't better. Accuracy peaks at a middle amount of spend, then flattens — and the agents can't predict their own usage.
• "An AI reviewed the code" often means no human actually did. Most agent-written changes get merged with little real review.

At AIEE, keeping up with 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 is part of the job.

Written notes and mental models were not enough. The field moves faster than any manual tracking system can handle.

So we built a 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲.

A verifiable ingestion and processing system with a single design goal: 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲.

It tracks papers, anchors concepts to primary sources, ranks findings by a composite signal (key insights, cross-field reach, empirical claims, recency decay), and produces a structured digest the team reads before shipping anything.

We're calling the output a 𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗲. And we're sharing it openly.

𝗣𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗲 #𝟭 is live. It covers the state of the field, the concepts crystallizing, the patterns stabilizing, and the top 7 papers worth your attention right now.

The headline finding: 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻, not just an emergent property of the model. Five converging papers from Jan-Apr 2026 make this case independently, and it changes how you should think about 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴.

If you're building with or around coding agents, this digest was made for you.

“Which MCPs and tools do you use in your Claude Code setup?”

We have been asked this question repeatedly these last few months.
