The future of personal AI agents: Software will bifurcate into visible and invisible layers
manosaie · x · 2026-08-14
Countering the claim that most people don't need an all-around personal AI agent, the author argues that personal AI agents should take over the tedious tasks you don't want to do on a screen.
The author suggests that the future of software is bifurcated: a chosen layer where users still actively show up (like social media and entertainment), and an invisible layer where agents act on the user's behalf. For those who already spend significant time on computers, this transition will drastically improve efficiency.
