If you combine an LLM that can run code, a cloud file system, and UI generation, you can create a new kind of os that evolves dynamically with the user.
Nice—who have you found that sits at the intersection of "wants to build custom personal apps" and "doesn't want to use a terminal UI"? Or, is there something people who already use Claude Code would get from this?
The brand and presentation seem to try to appeal to (young) tech savvy people; but those are the ones who are hardest to win due to so many different needs they have for their OS and software running on it. Similarly why people don’t move from Windows to Linux.
Thus, I’d be afraid this might very easily end up in the ”toy” category like the many alternative cloud or browser OSes.
So, instead, why not take a chapter from Chromebook’s.. book, and target the users with simplest needs: the non-technical. Those, who just ”need a browser in a laptop”.
New selling points:
- No need to update it, it takes care of its self
- No need to install suspicious apps, it can make the things you need
- No menus full of apps, settings and actions you will never use; only what you actually want
- You can’t break it, it can protect itself from accidents
- Never again odd error messages, it can always explain them to you ELI5 and help to fix them
And lastly:
- Nothing to ”learn” - always just ask and it’ll do it for you
