Word that a group of former Google executives plans to build an operating system for AI agents underscores the fact that there is a distinction between what application platforms are doing with agents today and what an AI agent-first OS would entail, said industry analyst Brian Jackson.
Jackson, principal research director at Info-Tech Research Group, said Wednesday that the OSes we use today “were built for a software architecture that is file-based and designed to be used with a computer and a mouse. An OS that is built around AI could look at defining computing as data-based, with intelligent models that continuously learn and adapt based on new data.”
He made the comments following the announcement from venture capitalist CapitalG, Alphabet’s independent growth fund, that it is co-leading a $56 million seed round in /dev/agents, an organization co-founded by former Google vice president of engineering David Singleton, along with former colleagues Hugo Barra, Ficus Kirkpatrick, and Nicholas Jitkoff, all of whom had held senior positions in the company.
