You know, basically you have to do the heavy lifting where we try to do the heavy lifting for you by making that presentation layer directly on your home screen that sort of understands what's happening already in the background and surfaces it when you need to know it.

So it's kind of an agentic home screen for your iPhone.

Turns out the iPhone home screen hasn't changed in 20 years.

You're roughly using the same device, the same thing.

And they're underutilized.

I think we use them in a creative way.

And so, and so like, you know, we're not going to go, we're like two people, three people.

So we can't really build a device.

We can't really invest hardcore.

So we have to operate in the application layer and utilize all the things that are affordances that the OS exposes to us as developers.

So creatively we, we sort of build this experience and we're,

few weeks old pretty awesome but it's been so much fun to be able to think about the way that ambient ai will really work imagine you go into a room there's a screen has presence detection knows who you are what you might want to see or know or do if you wake up in the morning these are the things that will kind of light up over time and so like this stuff might be in your life

persistently if you want to with your permission have you thought about what to call it it feels like sort of context dependent ambient ai is good ambient ai is lovely geordie as well ai ambient ai we need to have yeah but i think i don't know if the terminology is there you know it turns out all the terminology that exists in the past right you know the hashtags of twitter and whatnot are invented by their users and people are like oh we should call it that bottom up

It's no longer a permit.

You can't really have eye contact with people in the Western culture because it's like a whatever.

So people are always looking down on their feet.

And that's why George comes in.

Did you guys see that quote where, I think this philosopher, I forgot the name, but it was like, man was never meant to have a mirror.

Self-reflection like that is detrimental in some ways.

Yeah, you would go to a pond, for example, and look at your face.
