Ben Solari explains how AI copilots like Cursor speed up your existing work, while AI teammates like OpenHands are autonomous agents that handle longer, multi-step tasks on their own. OpenHands just raised $19M Series A with AMD.

Everyone talks about AI copilots, but your company, Open Hands, is building AI teammates. What's the real difference?
The AI assistant was the 1.0 generation of these tools, the Microsoft Copilots and the Cursor, early products of the like. Where you're sitting in front of the computer and without changing your workflow, you're accelerating your typical job by utilizing one of these assistants.
The AI teammate kind of.
Takes that one step, step further. I'd say that's like Gen 2. That's an asynchronous workflow where you're able to kind of task an agent to go off and do a complex, usually kind of long running or long form task that requires many different steps.
