I’ve been noticing a pattern across several AI-related concepts I’ve been exploring. Looking at them as a whole, I’m starting to wonder what consumer category they would fit into if they were built as products. Do they belong in an existing category such as apps or browser extensions, or do they represent something different? Most software categories focus on what the software does. These concepts focus on improving how humans and AI work together. Examples: Managing AI context contamination. Making human activity AI-readable. Preserving continuity between AI sessions. Capturing workflows so AI can understand what actually happened. Creating clean-room environments where AI only sees what it’s supposed to see. Recording demonstrations once and making them usable by both humans (video) and AI (structured replay). What’s interesting is that these don’t feel like traditional apps, and they don’t feel like typical browser extensions either. They seem more like layers that sit between humans and AI systems, helping solve continuity, comprehension, collaboration, and workflow challenges. The browser may simply be the easiest place to deploy them. Does this feel like the beginning of a new category of AI-specific tools, or am I grouping together a set of unrelated solutions that just happen to share similar themes? Curious how others in AI, product, UX, and architecture think about this. The dream of one creative non-coder submitted by /u/jsw548
