02 / FIELD NOTES
CURATORIAL ANALYSIS · NOT A MARKET SURVEYWhat a strange time to have a cursor.
From making edits
to managing work.
Early agent interfaces kept the file in the center and tucked the conversation beside it. Task lists and agent managers reverse that relationship: the conversation organizes the job, and the editor becomes one of the views you open to inspect it.
Compare VS Code agent mode ↗ with Antigravity’s surfaces ↗.
The company chat
became an IDE.
A shared conversation can hold the request, a colleague’s correction, and the agent’s result. Shopify’s River makes these conversations visible to other employees; Spotify’s Honk accepts work through Slack. The team’s context starts to matter as much as the code’s context.

“Done” needed
something to look at.
When a person delegates the keystrokes, they still need a way to judge the work. Plans, code diffs, test results, and live previews become the evidence. Our reading of the era: the best new control is often a better view of what just happened.
The world was larger
than our first list.
CodeBuddy, Comate, Lingma, and CodeArts make the Chinese-language IDE ecosystem visible. iFlow adds the terminal; Coze adds browser-based creation; Open-AutoGLM acts on phones. These are different product choices, not one regional interface style.

Bob has entered
the enterprise.
IBM’s agent pairs a plain first name with software-lifecycle work. Plans, subagents, modernization, and “Bobalytics” sit beside the code. Our reading: the enterprise interface is as much about supervising and accounting for work as starting it.

A museum needs
the dead ends, too.
Aide’s repository says it is no longer maintained. iFlow announces an April 17, 2026 shutdown. Melty ties chat to Git commits; ECA carries agents into Emacs. The smaller branches preserve ideas that a leaderboard would miss.

The machinery can be surprisingly small. The full repository is larger.
Different dates, denominators, and methods. These figures are curiosities from primary sources, not comparable productivity scores.
A SMALL CENSUS OF THIS COLLECTIONMany surfaces.
Many surfaces.
One recurring loop.
Ask → act → inspect → continue.
Entries have one primary family for browsing. Products may span several surfaces, and related interfaces may share a harness. Counts describe this archive, not the market.
A SMALL PIECE OF INTERNET HISTORYThere are geese
There are geese
in the server room.
Spotify’s Goose Farm turns active Honk sessions into a landscape of geese. An infrastructure dashboard becomes a little world you can watch. The Block-originated agent Goose is a separate project—apparently, the era had a type.
What this exhibit is
A broad public-source collection assembled on September 4, 2026. It includes earlier interfaces that shaped the era. Each entry has a primary source; descriptions explain the system, while the “why it matters” labels are curatorial interpretation. It is not an exhaustive list of every agent, nor a ranking.
What the images prove
85 publisher-supplied interface images illustrate 82 entries. Shared images count once. Framework images may show companion developer tools or official example apps; these are labeled explicitly. Screenshots and stills are credited individually; known publication dates are shown. “Date not supplied” means the exact interface vintage is unverified. Images may show older releases or publisher demos. They are not newly captured authenticated sessions, and no synthetic UIs are presented as evidence. Generated memes are labeled and excluded from image totals and the Images only filter.
When the screenshot hunt runs out
21 entries have no verified UI image in this collection. Some internal interfaces are not public; some frameworks have no canonical UI; some remain to be accessioned. These entries receive playful generated memes in place of documentary images. The meme is commentary, not evidence about what the product looks like. The second acquisition adds Chinese-language primary sources, with original names and English curatorial summaries. Source language does not establish a company’s nationality or every language its interface supports. Public developer tools remain overrepresented; private projects, other regions, and bespoke wrappers remain incomplete.
