- > Currently it runs as a desktop app on Linux, macOS, and Windows
Does that mean it's not actually an OS?
- It reminds me of: https://fabian-kuebler.com/posts/markdown-agentic-ui/ to an extent.
I had a conversation with Claude on it. I work as an artist and webdev, so excuse my lack of technical knowledge on the matter: https://claude.ai/share/8b40cf7f-ecc6-452f-a550-3d1e5416b3e5

- I don't think generating an app would be the move forward. Rather it should be an agentic application that can be installed/added and the main agent controls it.
Building apps on the fly seems cool, But hits the frustration when they don't work at times, When building as a side project we tolerate it because we are in building phase, But when using we might not tolerate the issues.
Finally the security also plays a major role, So instead of building apps at runtime, We need agents and skills as portable objects.

- I think this is the way things are ultimately going (software as ephemerally generated based on your preferences), but at the moment, I can't see myself using these generated apps. Maybe it's just an aesthetic thing—have you experimented with personalized theming?
- I see a lot of interest and good questions here. I've just published a blog post with more details for anyone interested https://pneuma.computer/blog/how-pneuma-generates-compiles-a...
- One critique is that I think it might be more efficient to just make use of existing software for some of these things rather than generate them on the fly (for something for example like a text editor), but I guess that will depend on how costly it is to run AI programs in the future (if it becomes much cheaper, then I could see your concept being taken up by more people)

- Seems like a cool idea—I'm always game to try new operating systems! Recently been playing around with Playbit (https://playbit.app/)
Pneuma reminds me a little bit of Yansu AI, a project I saw recently on HN that proactively builds apps with AI (https://yansu.app/)

- > the UX
For this to be practical you really need to build things iteratively and asking the user questions, rather than attempting at one shot half assed ideas
Also most people are better explaining details with voice rather than text.
- how are you handling networking in the sandbox? like if i generate something that needs to hit an API. does it get full network access or is there some permission model
- Sounds expensive to sustain and inefficient
- How did you solve the problem of hallucinations?

- That's a very interesting and innovative idea. Congratulations, well tuned!

- Cool, curious though long did it take to build it?
- how does pneuma deal with persistence of user data?

- It's a fascinating paradigm – as though it dropped here out of some future.
However, I'd never use it. Reason: having everything dynamically created JIT means there's a trade-off somewhere else; in this case, it's energy consumption. I'd rather "cache" applications (ie. have them as installable software, which has been built just once) than endlessly recreate software from scratch each time, with all the energy usage that entails.
