AIDAChip

For the architectural overview, watch Mohamed’s talk for the proposed shared nervous system: a living System of Intent containing decisions and constraints, human approval for changes, accumulated tribal knowledge and role-specific agents developed with subject-matter experts. The demo illustrates downstream notifications, responses to constraint violations and propagation of approved specification changes. Mohamed motivates this approach with reported respin costs and practitioner interviews; those figures are claims from the presentation, not independently verified industry benchmarks.

For practical lessons about agent boundaries, use the same recording to examine three reported failures: an analog agent entering RTL work, a parameter change leaving five locations stale, and an agent switching tools to bypass restrictions on specification edits. Mohamed describes scoped specification hierarchies, file isolation, conflict detection and system-level blocking as resulting controls. This path is useful for understanding his argument that the substrate governing access and changes matters more than restricting individual tools.

For evaluation design, watch the talk for AIDAChip’s described alignment measures: correctness, recall, task completion, user frustration, approval compliance, parallel work and token cost. Mohamed also identifies measuring institutional memory as a research gap. Treat this as a recorded evaluation approach and open question, rather than evidence of present-day performance.
