Every 20 years, computing goes through a paradigm shift.
Welcome to the third revolution.
Every 20 years, everything changes
Not because you're inefficient.
Because the interface requires it.
Three convergences that make this possible
LLMs crossed the capability threshold. They can understand complex intent, reason about multi-step tasks, and execute with tool use.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) launched in 2024. A standard way for AI to use tools—like POSIX for Unix.
100M+ people already use ChatGPT. They understand natural language interaction. They expect AI to "just work."
Replace bash/zsh with natural language. Early adopters prove the paradigm works.

Product managers, researchers, creators—the NLI becomes mainstream.

Computing is finally natural. Think it → Say it → Done.
"In 1984, when Steve Jobs unveiled the Macintosh,
people didn't immediately understand why GUI mattered."Journalists asked: "Why would anyone want to use a mouse?"
But within 10 years, every computer had one.
In 2025, people ask: "Why would I talk to my computer?"
In 2035, they'll ask: "How did people tolerate clicking?"
Express what you want, not how to do it
Unified capability space, not siloed applications
Machine speaks human language
Remembers, learns, improves over time
