I think mobile computing is about to be upended, and the breakthrough could come down to two words: “Hey, ChatGPT.” Or whatever AI agent you choose. Once an agent can reliably handle a task for you, why hunt and peck through an app to order food or compose an email? Just say what you want done. Now imagine that access through a ring or wristband. No screen required. Just a wake word that connects you to your agent, without first pulling out your phone or going through Apple’s or Google’s assistant. Making your agent instantly available by voice could change how often you need to touch a smartphone. Humane and Rabbit were early, but I think they were onto something. The agents behind the hardware weren’t ready. Now they’re getting closer. Services could even build to be agent first, without an app interface for humans at all. Companies that block agents would lose. We’ve spent years learning how to tap, swipe and dig through menus. So much of that could go away when we can simply say what we want to do.
