And it would also have to keep up in real time. Think about how we as humans work together. You jump in, you react to build on top of what each other you say. And today agents can still don't do it. What we're doing is we're sending a prompt. We're waiting. It goes away and at one point the agent come back and we might have to take a couple of turns, right? Because what the agent come back with is not exactly what we might want to do. So we're sending another prompt say, "Hey, go back do this, do this differently." And we have this long back and forth which we got so used to from our chatbot experience and from this rhythm taking turns. But what we actually would need, think about it, is an agent that can react while you're still working. Wouldn't that be really cool, right? Like at the same time you're working, it can also come up with suggestions, can help you, and there is no waiting time. So basically an agent that perceives what you perceive and understands what you mean. We call them perception agents.
