proactive ai is inevitable, but most people don’t get that it’s not just automation, it’s intelligence that seeks to optimize your workflow before you even think to ask. the first startups to nail this will eat a lot of existing tooling overnight. this is the area i am personally most deeply intrigued & excited by. a simple primitive example: tasks + deep research is basically google alerts & more on steroids. instead of just keyword triggering you can trigger on real proactive intelligence. the combinations are endless.
