For over half a century, personal computing has been defined by devices - from desktops to mobile and everything in between. But each new gizget merely replicated the limitations of what came before. We remain tethered to screens, confined by the constraints of hardware. That is, until now. As pioneers envision, artificial intelligence will soon unleash a new paradigm. Through ubiquitous, personalized agents, computing power will be untangled from any one device. With an intelligent assistant always on hand, seamlessly delivering precisely what we need, when and how we want it, we'll finally be emancipated from dependence on screens. AI has the potential to liberate us from devices and usher in a future beyond any platform. It's time for innovators to start building the intelligent agents that will set us free.

New design approaches are needed for intelligent agents. Components must be interoperable and self-configuring independently of implementation. Applications similarly require reusable frameworks integrating third parties seamlessly. Designs should empower ongoing end-user participation, personalized customization and interface adaptation. Developers must craft autonomous, adaptive modules enabling diverse combinations. By establishing engaging environments utilizing user feedback, innovators can explore intelligent assistants delivering assistance via any subsequent interface —?where your own AI assistant IS the interface.
