The velocity of how this space gets reskinned is wild.
Clearly we do not yet feel satisfied with the way we consume and work with agents at scale.
It looks like perhaps rather than skinning we need a more novel UX or workflow to emerge.
I can't help but think all of this is living on borrowed time and eventually it will look more like talking to your "assistant" that fields everything for you and maybe some new async interruption model that fits humans better.
Biggest bottleneck in my opinion still is how to solve for information density.
This looks basically the same as what Paseo does, and Paseo is open source, works on lots of different platforms, and has native apps.
I have a homelab-type setup with macOS, phone, and ARM and x64 Linux platforms, all of which I can dispatch agent work to from my laptop from, like, an airplane.
It's extremely useful, scales up the number of experiments I can run, and decouples me from my dev laptop. But it's also just table stakes at this point.
Really just worth learning SSH and Tmux instead of building your workflow against something that's trying to replace them
How is this different from running Paseo [0] in your VM?
All these agent conductors are like new frontend frameworks of the before times. Everyone is making and trying to market them.

Your Mac will now work while the lid is closed.
I don't get it. ChatGPT's Codex app allows you to use your machine, when its locked. It has full computer use, can code, open browsers, apps, etc. Why would we need a separate app for this?
A custom Mac application seems limiting compared to a web app. I use a web browser to connect from my laptop, tablet, and phone to use Linux VMs on exe.dev.
But it might be nice to have a nice way to run VMs on my Mac mini, too.

It's so obvious on projects like this that everything's generated.
"One line. A worktree, a box, an agent." Fuck does that mean?
Have some pride and actually write the text yourself. Tell my why it's interesting. What problems are you trying to solve?
If you can't be bothered to write it, why should I be bothered to read it.
"The agents run on your boxes, not on your laptop. Close it and they keep working; open it in the morning and what they did is there."
What is a box? Sorry is that a remote VM? A local VM that stays awake when the laptop screen is closed?
Orca clone?
So it's another codex/claude cloud or modal?
What's this?
Yet another Vibe coded slop clone of a remote claude code.
The quality bar is quite low these days.

The more time goes on the more I think there is basically no moat in AI products because everyone is literally building the same shit. There is zero creativity in AI product right now. Yeah they might be different designs, but they are all the same exact product under the skin.
Cursor, Devin, Factory, Amp Code, Codex, Claude Codex, Antigravity, Conductor, OpenCode, T3 Code, Orca, Emdash, and hundreds of more of the same exact shit.
Yeah they might market it same fancy revolutionary technology like Orbs, but it not it just an agent harness local or remote. You can do orbs literally with Claude Code with a single prompt it not special.
We have AI that lets you build things freely and yet here we are all building the same exact thing.
This is just coding harness. The personal assistant space is the exact same.
