Why ordinary people aren't using AI agents
Wired publishes an analysis where Josh Miller, CEO of The Browser Company, criticizes AI agents for failing to gain mainstream adoption despite the technology being ready. While agents from OpenAI and Anthropic have around 10 million weekly users, this pales in comparison to ChatGPT and Gemini with around one billion monthly users. Miller argues that agents are a technology, not a product, and that the industry needs to build around user needs instead of demonstrating technological capabilities.
WHY IT MATTERS
The story highlights that AI labs have invested billions training models capable of far more than simple tasks, but lack a breakthrough product for mainstream use. It signals that the innovation challenge for agents lies in product design and user value, not technological capability.
