Thanks! It's the product of several things for me - one, I hate that everything wants to have its own "Co-pilot" chat interface and am afraid that easy win will turn into a standard. The ideal thing about agents is that they can have responsibilities and you
don't have to instruct them constantly. The number of times that I've wanted to ask Gemini to summarize this email for me is closer to zero than 100.
So I like MCP for this - agents can have their responsibilities, receive events, take action; if you need to chat with one, you can do that in the same interface you'd chat with a colleague.
And the other is that I hate how "voice/video chat" is still "another app". If we're both looking at the same Kanban board, we should just be able to talk without a bunch of negotiation. We're here, online, together in this project, on this app, so why can't we just talk? Give me an icon that lets me talk to anybody that's "in the room" so to speak. It should all be like that, so... it's headed that direction.
