integrationsA lot of work is already handed to Agents, from refactoring code to sorting through messages. But each task moves forward in its own conversation. Before picking one back up, you have to dig through a pile of conversations for the context and remember what that one was for. Asking the Agent for an HTML dashboard pulls the information into one place, but the page only shows the data from the moment it was generated. To keep it updated, push a task forward, or save results, you have to go back to the chat and explain everything again. Work between people and AI is never handed off just once: sometimes it needs a human’s revisions, and sometimes it needs the AI to pitch in.https://www.minimax.io/blog/minimax-code-mini-app-1792650729
