    "text": "Engineers were also able to assign … tickets as well as GitHub issues to an agent and have the agent implement the work … So now the agents have become a part of the sprint. This blew everyone's minds. The first time we did this, the team ran out of work and had to pull in more tickets like twice, right? So of course, engineering managers, product teams, they love this flow.",
