Agents Speak First ā Who Hits Brakes?
Meta, OpenAI and Uber bet on proactive AI agents that initiate conversations on their own.
#AI Agents#Meta#OpenAI#Uber#Proactive AI

š„ What happened
Meta, OpenAI and Uber launched proactive agents within weeks: Muse (Sept 8) books and emails on its own, Dots (Sept 29) monitors your apps in the background, and Uber's driver assistant nudges drivers toward better zones ā voice version live since Sept 24.
š” Why it matters
The hard problem shifts from what to answer to when to interrupt, on which channel, with what offer. One Uber driver sat idle 33 minutes ā a single ping moved him to a better zone. LLMs write the message, but they shouldn't decide whether it gets sent.
ā” Our take
Spam users and they mute you. The winner isn't the best model ā it's the best judgment about attention, and whoever owns the most notification data.
