Surely a better way to think of this is that a person's AI agent will simply find, via whatever means necessary, the information that the person is interested in. It's hard to imagine the person will still be operating on the old "pull" model where they deliberately visit a specific website or open a specific app.

Hate all you want. This is the level of Microsoft Scout at the moment.

I tell it what sites to go to, and the information I am interested it, and it grabs it using Playwright.

I am hoping I can get a self-host option working as well as this.
