Open-source personal agent Comma argues PAs need sessionless continuity across tasks

A Comma team member, riding the buzz around Muse, Instinct, and Dots, argues personal agents need dual continuity to stay useful long-term:
- Session continuity: context preserved across conversations, devices, and interruptions
- Task continuity: a durable record of what's done, blocked, waiting, and next
Example: ask your PA to prep a release — it checks the build, finds an unresolved issue, waits for the fix, resumes verification after merge, and asks when it needs your decision.
Comma is an open-source personal agent built around a sessionless philosophy: users never manage session boundaries; tasks stay alive across conversations and execution runs. The goal is for every accepted task to reach a verified outcome — with the agent surfacing blockers and keeping unfinished work visible so stopped executions never quietly become forgotten tasks.
