AI agents need a "no new tab" rule: embedding in existing workflows beats being another destination

The author argues many AI agents fail because they become another destination — another tab, inbox, or dashboard where work waits. That's relocation, not automation. For an agent to be valuable, it should live inside workflows customers already use or remove a step entirely. The post asks whether requiring users to change where they work is a red flag, or whether strong pain justifies the switch, noting Flatlogic as a way to prototype the interface.
