The author doubles down on his thesis that personal agents will be a massive market with multiple winners, saying one month on it's truer than he imagined.
He argues a multi-agent world is inevitable via a string of questions: can Bharat users access Instinct, can local dialect speakers use Muse, can wealthy markets accept non-private agents, can traders rely on generic agents, would farmers find agents useful? Differences in language, privacy needs, and use cases mean no single universal personal agent — rather multiple products serving distinct segments.
