altryne · x · 2026-10-19
altryne amplifies a ThursdAI episode arguing that consumer-facing personal AI agents (Muse, Grok Bot, Dots...) are quietly changing the experience for non-technical users while most AI engineers, buried in their own harnesses, miss it. Wolfram adds that living at the bleeding edge takes a specific mindset and energy, and predicts 2026 will be the year of the personal agent/assistant.
