Community Feedback
Only the latest comments are shown.in an era with AI benefit and AI horror stories both saturating, Charley is one of the few that seem to grasp the first principles of security. I spend my days researching quantum resistant encryption and advising on IAM challenges. The true weakest link is also that factors are not phishing resistant. On-device prevention of social engineering is by far the most valuable and efficient defense layer. Excited to see Agent Charley in action
I started Charlemagne Labs and we worked hard to build Agent Charley. Excited for people's feedback!
