> As these agents evolve

That doesn't answer what's happening now. The AI companies can't keep saying "AGI is around the corner!" for much longer.

No serious company is claiming AGI is around the corner. There's going to be scams like Rabbit, Friend and similar, but there are scams for everything.

Agents are evolving though. The coding agents a few months ago were a joke (Devin) and now they're actually usable for basics.

Are they? Have you used Devin to do anything though? So far as I understand it, the Devin demo was faked.

That's what I meant - Devin was a joke, I've seen the promo and didn't use it. But I experimented with Plandex recently and it's usable for various small tasks. Not great, but usable if you make the right choices and getting better.
