How I automate my own job at Hugging Face using agents — Niels Rogge, Hugging Face
Thousands of GitHub issues, opened automatically, have produced exactly two negative replies. Niels Rogge works on what he calls the Google Drive to the hub team at Hugging Face, whose job is noticing that a paper's weights are sitting on Dropbox or Zenodo where nobody will find them, then asking the authors to publish on the hub instead. Hundreds of papers land on arXiv every day, so he automated himself.The useful part is that he built it twice, in opposite shapes, and explains why each time. The outreach half is a deterministic workflow: a model call at each step of the path he used to walk by hand, no agent framework at all, running nightly as a cron job on free GitHub Actions minutes, with tracing so he can inspect prompts, cost, and latency. He chose that because the prevailing advice when he built it was to avoid agents unless you genuinely need one. The follow up half, built recently, is the reverse. It is a fully autonomous loop whose main tool is bash, carrying one CLI, one skill, and a sandbox, fanned out so that every issue gets its own container. He is also candid that recipients are not told an agent wrote to them, on the grounds that it sends what he used to send himself and a disclosed bot tends to get closed unread.
