Composing a new platform for agent-first devices

“Every new computer form factor follows this pattern shown above. A jump in processing power, both in the cloud and at the edge, has enabled us to create hyper-complex software (AI), making agents possible. Through these agents, human language and dialog is the new interaction technology. For the first time in our history, we can program, direct, and initiate action with computers the way we talk with each other. This higher mode of interaction enables the computer and us to be less dependent on the traditional way we have interacted with computers via keyboards, screens, or even premediated apps. … And because of these trends, we are seeing a major opportunity toward new types of form factors.

As AI streamlines the traditional development stack, these emerging form factors make it possible to bring agents into places, workflows, and moments that previously were difficult or cumbersome. A more specific and better tool for more specific tasks…”
