“Right now the product experience of using AI is I need to go and find all the context that's relevant for the model. And get it into this text box somewhere or get it into this list of files somewhere. And like the beautiful thing about screen sharing is like all of the context that I need the model to do stuff with is already on my computer. I'm looking at it somewhere on my computer. I looked at it today or yesterday or right now, like just let me show the model what I see and have it do interesting stuff.”
