Notion designer Nathan Baschez: personal agents aren't the endgame — shared 'factories' are
nbaschez · x · 2026-10-05
Nathan Baschez (Notion product designer, ex-founder of Lex and Every) argues against Silicon Valley's personal-agent consensus (Grok Bots, Muse, OpenAI's Dots): individual agents matter, but the economically inevitable future of work is shared 'factory' systems that unlock specialization and gains from trade — more multiplayer, more automated, more complex than any single agent. The post also includes a hands-on demo: building an app via Claude driving Lovable through its MCP server without ever opening the editor, with Claude fixing a date-logic bug along the way.
