there is something that is tempting you. So what is the most exciting part of this? Yeah, I think there's a few different dimensions. The answer would be different for different dimensions. On the technical front, I think what's exciting is that we are at a stage where these web agents that are reliable, that can get things done for you, are within grasp, but it's not already solved. It feels like at that sweet spot, where it makes sense to go after that problem. And if we go after it, we can make very real progress and have something useful that is out there in the short enough term. But it's not solved yet. It's not like you can just take in an API and just build an app around it and have it out there and be sufficiently reliable. So from the technical perspective, that's what's exciting. On the personal front, like I was saying, I value new experiences. And this is amazing. It's been exciting to start from scratch. We are a small team. I enjoy working with these people. They're very strong in what they do. And anything that we do right now is progress because we're starting from zero. We haven't even hit the wall yet. One of my co-founders is Dhruv Batra, who is my spouse, who I've worked with a lot in the past couple of decades. And Abhishek Das, who is a very good friend of both of us. Doing this together with people who you like spending time with and who you trust is another element of excitement as well. This is quite a gamble for you. Why do you think that you guys will succeed? I think if you look at the web agent ecosystem of all the efforts that are happening in this space, we are probably one of the fewer teams that have the intersection of sort of a background in having trained these models. And even the team that we've put together, we have the multimodal posttraining lead of Llama3, who's on our team from Meta, someone who's worked on Gemini at Google, someone who was at a startup called Minion that was also working on web agents. Soon we have someone joining from Llama4 who was leading multimodal post-training for Llama4. We have this set of expertise that we've put together that Women in Computer Vision 18 DAILY WACV Saturday
