Ten seconds of judgment, delivered to the right doorstep
The machines got capable first and wise second — that was always going to be the order. So the scarce resource in your day quietly changed: not typing, not knowledge, but the moment of judgment only you can supply. Somewhere an agent hits a fork — two roads, both defensible — and the old kind would guess and let you discover the wrong turn an hour later.
The new kind knocks. A small panel at the edge of the screen: one question, three options, your ten seconds. You answer, it vanishes, the work continues on the road you chose. Being interrupted stopped being a cost. It became the job.
That knock exists. It's called Cenno — a native macOS surface where agents queue their questions — a decision to confirm, a rating, a pick from options — and structured answers flow straight back into the agent loop. Built on one principle: an agent should ask before it assumes.
