More important than you think! David, Hugo, Nicholas, and Ficus! Some of us are reminded of early DOS .BAT batch file creation when interfacing with current AI applications. Clean us up, y’all!
It’s not a perfect analogy, but reminds me of how innovation and problem solving have advanced every industry and product you can think of.
Just as the move from DOS to Windows or early iterations of the Apple OS introduced graphical interfaces, multitasking, security, and ease of use, maybe this OS represents a paradigm shift, and smoother collaboration between users and AI. Could this make AI as seamless and invisible to day-to-day computing applications— as graphical interfaces have, from text batch files to GUI not that many years ago?

🚀 Excited to announce my new company: /dev/agents. I’m building the next-gen operating system for AI agents, joining my former colleagues Hugo Barra, Nicholas Jitkoff, and Ficus Kirkpatrick as co-founders. We’re excited to partner with Nina Achadjian (Index Ventures) and Jill (Greenberg) Chase (CapitalG).
Modern AI will fundamentally change how people use software in their daily lives. Agentic applications could, for the first time, enable computers to work with people in much the same way people work with people.
But it won’t happen without removing a ton of blockers. We need new UI patterns, a reimagined privacy model, and a developer platform that makes it radically simpler to build useful agents. That’s the challenge we’re taking on.
We’re building a cloud-based OS for trusted agents to work with users across all of their devices. We want to help people spend time on what matters to them.
