The Five Questions That Turn a Messy Task Into an AI Loop (+ the prompts to map yours)

Watch now | Apps taught us to open the right square. Loops are how agents start carrying the recurring work between the squares.

TL;DR

  • Apps have made individual tasks easy but left the crucial work of connecting them to humans.
  • The 'wiring' between tasks—remembering, checking, following up—is often overlooked as work.
  • AI should help manage these connections, not by pretending life is simple, but by handling recurring obligations.
  • A 'loop of loops' system involves narrow, specialized agents with memory and boundaries that can notice when one task affects another.
  • This system helps manage dependencies that previously lived only in one's head, like how weather impacts school trip packing.
  • The goal is not to automate life but to recognize and structure the work of connection that apps have obscured.
