YC says the next big AI opportunity is multiplayer tools, not private chats

YC argues that working with AI is still mostly a single-player experience, and that the next big opportunity is multiplayer AI.
- Today, agents usually live in private chats and isolated sessions.
- The post predicts the next generation of tools will let teams watch, redirect, and hand off agent work in real time across engineering, sales, support, legal, finance, and more.
- The key thesis: AI becomes much more powerful when it turns into a shared team workspace, not just a private prompt box.
