<p>I was using today a Gemini (3.1 pro), and had a long conversation about mobile operators offering on gemini.google.com. In one of the replies, completely out of context (topic), gemini added: "By the way, to have access to all features, please enable Gemini Apps Activity." 
Last three words were a link to <a href="https://myactivity.google.com/product/gemini" rel="nofollow">https://myactivity.google.com/product/gemini</a>.<p>:-O<p>NB:
1. this conversation was not about google/activities, etc. completely other topic.<p>2. I do not have app activity enabled<p>3. Google in many different places try convince users to allow them to have history and data (app activity).<p>4. I dont know if this is a result of training, or text insertion via API, nevertheless it was directly within paragraph of other text (response) generated by the gemini (sic!)<p>We, discuss ads by openai, but here is in big black letters, one of the googles dark pattern directly in model response.<p>BTW: gemini pro 3.1 really nailed this task and provided a lot of useful information.</p>

<p>all the examples for visual UI, are tasks which already are (or soon be) done by the agent, not human. hence not needed.<p>I suspect that final(*) UI is much more similar to TUI: being kind of conversational (human <> AI). Current GUIs provided by your bank/etc are much less effective/useful for us, comparing to conversation way: 'show/do me sth which I just need'. Not to mention (lack of) walled garden effect, and attention grabbing not in the user interest (popups, self-promo, nagging). Also if taking into account age factor. Also that we do not have to learn, yet another GUI (teach a new bank to your mom ;). 
So at least 4 distinct and important advantages for TUI.<p>My bet: TUI/conversation win (*).<p>*) there will be some UI where graphical information density is important (air controller?) especially in time critical environments. yet even there I suspect it's more like conversation with dynamic image/report/graph generated on the go. Not the UI per se.</p>

<p>Congrats on the app.<p>I'm seeing that "great-ai-unlock" is happening. I see in last month a lot of new software being codeveloped with claude/codex/gemini/you-name it.<p>Before, it was too costly to do sth like the Posture app: here, you would have to know Swift and apple apis to write such tool. Would you be C# (very good) programmer with free weekend, and an idea: no cookie for ya.<p>These days, due to "great-ai-unlock" your skills can be easily transferred and used to cross platforms boundary and code such useful app in a weekend or so.<p>Jevons paradox is indeed working (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox</a>).</p>

<p>Can you expand with more technical explanation how are those two points implemented:<p>- You can bring your shell environments / init scripts / aliases with you in a noninvasive way. I.e. you don't have to modify the remote system dotfiles, when you connect through xpipe it will set up any scripts you want to have available automatically<p>- You can link up your password manager with your SSH client and other connection methods that require passwords<p>Feel free to write here or refer to any url you recommend.<p>Thank you, and good luck with your product!</p>

<p>> Taking VC cash is very often a game of deciding whether you want to gamble it all on faster growth or take less risk for less cash, but with the additional caveat that the investors you take on often will cheer for the "gamble it all" option as they have many parallel bets while you as the founder has one.<p>This shall be printed in block letters in a red frame ahead of most Paul Graham essays about milk, honey and richies in startup land.<p>He and VCs push theirs agenda because he has hundreds of bets, while founder has one.<p>They play different game and are quite quiet about it.</p>
