AI agents + a weird UX problem
Random thought:
AI agents are starting to do tasks that take a while, but the user experience is still basically:
“Working…”
“Still working…”
“Here’s your result.”
Why are we wasting that time?
I found a hackathon built around exactly this idea; Make Waiting for AI Fun.
The challenge is to build something for the user while the agent is thinking. No restrictions on what it can be.
$60k prize pool, deadline is September 17.
Seems like a fun tech to build. Curious what people here would make.
