AI delegates as smart voicemail: imagining an audio-native UX along async/sync gradients
curious_vii · x · 2026-10-08
curiousvii argues that unprompted direct calls are the most general way to unblock things. He imagines everything collapsing into "smart voicemail": meetings happen almost exclusively ad hoc, and AI delegates join on your behalf—raising exceptions and escalating to a live call when needed.
He envisions an audio-native UX where collaboration forms a continuous gradient along private/public and async/sync dimensions, with your position set by what you want and what's scarce in context—especially principals' attention.
