akbabu··on Show HN: What should the GUI for AI agents look like?
Thanks! We fixed some of the videos now.

Yeah, we speak in words, so I'm not saying text would go away entirely. Even in our Marble interface, you can still type follow-up prompts to a task. But plaintext won't be an interface by itself.

Plain text is great for transmitting information that's already specified, but human intent doesn't come out fully formed. Plaintext alone won't be the main way for humans to express intent and interact with an agent.

We think that humans will remain in charge for quite some time. Even a superintelligence won't know what we want until we tell it. The process of communicating intent/desires etc to an AI agent is a nontrivial interface problem (which Marble is trying to get at).

Totally agreed that chat interfaces won’t be sufficient to enforce complicated gates. Our interface does have the concept of a workspace, where you can see all the cards at-a-glance within the workspace. But graphs, or otherwise finding a way to have the tasks interact with each other, could be an interesting direction.
