Flipping the AI playbook: deploy agents on the client's own machine, then unplug
curious_vii · x · 2026-10-09
The author argues the old AI playbook—gather requirements, build a cloud black box, bill to babysit it—gets adoption wrong. Their alternative: set up the entire agent on the client's own machine, using the client's own logins, apps, and workflow, then fully unplug remote access for the vendor.
The pitch is "remote for us as the vendor, local for him": agent-first and human-first, keeping control and data with the user as the way to cross the "normie AI chasm."
