KEY FACTS
- Meta, OpenAI, Microsoft and others have launched always-on agent products that keep executing tasks after the user walks away.

- The future computer home screen may show only three kinds of information: goal progress, changes, and exceptions.
- The basic unit of interaction shifts from messages and tasks to responsibility, with states including enabled, paused, escalated, and revoked.
- Interface design will dynamically adjust transparency based on risk, reversibility, uncertainty, and duration.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION
As agents take over execution, the interface shifts from a control panel to a tool for delegation and supervision. The industry needs to establish new standards for permissions, triggers, and exception handling, while users must adapt to a role change from operator to delegator. This is not just an interaction upgrade, but a restructuring of the responsibility relationship.
