What would an agentic UX look like that is better than the current OS experience?

typing "open hackernews" into copilot instead of clicking the browser and typing hackernews?

99% of OS interactions already boil down to 2 clicks and a search phrase.

- "summarize the discussions on hacker news of last week based on what I would find interesting".

- "Plan my summer vacation with my family, suggest different options"

- "Look at my household budget and find ways to be more frugal."

There are thousands of things I can think of when it comes to how an agentic OS would work better than the current Screen Keyboard paradigm. I mean all these things I could now do with Claude or Codex and some of these things I already do with these tools.

I don't want those. Why read books when you can have an ai summarize it in two paragraphs for you? Because I want to know and learn and enrich myself.

		Sure but most people just want to get shit done. If you don't want it you can always take the long meandering path, no one is stopping that.

Neither of those really have to do with the OS though. For example:

> Plan my summer vacation with my family, suggest different options

What part of this does an agentic OS help with? My OS doesn't know my travel preferences, family size, work schedule, etc.

These are more appropriate tasks for a smart assistant.

What specifically does an agentic OS UX look like beyond giving claude access to local files and a browser?

huh? ... this reads to me like you don't need an "agentic" OS to do the things you'd want to use an "agentic" OS for..?

like... it seems you just don't want a keyboard to do the same things you've already been doing? ... is that the crux of it?

None of those need to, or should, be done at the OS level.
