pairing this with rewind-like applications, it would seem that "user files" and particularly "user organized files" as a paradigm could also be completely unnecessary, as you recall states/activities/projects via intention and the agent presents you with the right abstraction to navigate those

There is a build in filesystem handling system. For example, if you ask it to build a Todo task agent it will need to persist the tasks and their state to disk. It knows which syscalls to use in the pneuma microkernal and it builds with that in mind. When you start the app it will reauesf access to the file system.

are you using vector store for long term persistence or standard fs and model interaces with it via tools?

It reminds me of: https://fabian-kuebler.com/posts/markdown-agentic-ui/ to an extent. I had a conversation with Claude on it. I work as an artist and webdev, so excuse my lack of technical knowledge on the matter: https://claude.ai/share/8b40cf7f-ecc6-452f-a550-3d1e5416b3e5

In the conversation I (mostly Claude, to be fair) was speculating about some caveats of fully on the fly generated ui/apps, in relation to ui/ux design and brand recognition, including how does ui/ux innovation enter the model if this is a paradigm shift, and what kind of job positions/skillsets would that paradigm destroy/create

If we fully embrace this generative software concept for the sake of this thread, then the UI/UX, is going to be optimized and personalized to your tastes, skills, affinities, and (dis)abilities. Brand comes into the equation as a proxy for trust, so if this whole scenario were to come true, maybe that's not so relevant anymore.

> Currently it runs as a desktop app on Linux, macOS, and Windows Does that mean it's not actually an OS?

Some might claim a browser is an OS. Some do claim emacs is an OS. Tlon claims urbit is an OS. It’s a fairly fluid term nowadays.

They're like an OS by analogy, but all of them require an actual OS to interface with the hardware. I don't think making that term fluid is a good idea. If we did, how would I refer to... "an actual OS"?

You’re definitely right there should be distinction. I think “baremetal OS” is the term some people would use.
