- Mental Model Shift: Users manage named, personified agents instead of juggling standard chat threads.
- Lack of Queuing: If an agent is busy with a long task, users have no clear way to queue messages without interrupting the workflow.
- Buried Threads: The ability to spin up new threads exists but feels intentionally hidden, degrading the multitasking experience.
