I completely agree with you that the chat interface is very undercooked and there's a big untapped space for agent-first interfaces, perhaps even replacing traditional desktop metaphors. You're spot on with your premise.

With that said, from the material you show in your homepage, it still seems like you're doing something very similar to OpenAI and Anthropic's first party apps? I think it would help your pitch if you could show some task or workflow where your interface truly makes a difference; loading files and asking questions about them is a staple of most harnesses.

I think a better example is how Marble makes tools visible and easy to select for each task instead of requiring you to remember what exists or describing everything through the prompt.

Marble keeps the tools you use most close at hand and will surface other useful ones for the job. Combined with a birds eye view of multiple tasks running, it makes agent work easier to set up and manage. The goal is to minimize cognitive overhead in day to day tasks (both in specifying what you want, and managing after you ran something)

Isn't that what current agents already do? e.g. codex: https://ibb.co/Y71qJJZb

I think this highlights most how separated actual os' are from practical ai today (even while terminal apps live in them). If apple owned CC I could do this right in the macos gui. Instead apple ai is half baked and claude code gui is half baked.

It's similar to needing aol to get online in the 90s/00s. Eventually this will become built in and become invisible in a sense.

I'm glad someone is working on this because it's been annoying having to sacrifice process to gain capability.

I just want a clean way to manage chats, projects, and research. I mean I know I can pin so many chats, and I can group things in projects.

But I am doing a brand design project with nearly 30 - 40 chats in one project at the moment, and the fact that you can't rename a chat from within a chat (or even see the autogenerated name for that point). You can't tag or apply any logical grouping to chats in a project i.e. Logo, Wordmark, Email Footer, Social Branding, etc.

I spent a long time going through all the chats manually and then giving them a naming convention with tags built into the titles so that I can navigate the chats in my project. Even then, I still have to scroll through the whole list to find what I want.

Are you using codex app? In CLI you can fork/rename chats. Albeit you cant fork rename in one action which is annoying. I find naming chats, putting chats into folders, giving chat tabs unique colors according to their purpose helps me.
