Design for office work — not from a developer's perspective.
Work starts with goals, not commands
Safety, review, and control are default
No Terminal, no Prompt, no API thinking
Users delegate work instead of "telling tools what to do"
Give access to a folder
Assign tasks
Watch execution
Inspired by agentic CLI workflows
A visual work desk
Assign tasks to digital workers
Observe, intervene, approve, reuse
Inspired by how managers work with teams
Cowork provides an initial set of skills
Lily treats Skills as office work menus
Users choose what they want done
Lily decides how it gets done
No prompting. No learning curve. No configuration.
Models will not unify into one
Compute abstraction remains valuable
Office UX is a taste problem, not a model problem
New Offices are not built by simplifying developer tools
