I've long said that the next big jump in "AI" will be proactivity.

So far everything has been reactive. You need to engage a prompt, you need to ask Siri or ask claude to do something. It can be very powerful once prompted, but it still requires prompting.

You always need to ask. Having something always waiting in the background that can proactively take actions and get your attention is a genuine game-changer.

Whether this particular project delivers on that promise I don't know, but I wouldn't write off "getting proactivity right" as the next big thing just because under the hood it's agents and LLMs.
