- Traditional business software facilitates human actions but depends on user effort for value.
- Chatbot interfaces in existing systems are just new interfaces for old workflows, still requiring human input.
- Self-driving software proactively moves work forward without constant human intervention.
- Example in project management: automatic extraction of customer requests, analysis, and assignment of issues.
- Linear's vision includes different levels of autonomy, from assistive hints to full autonomy where the system handles issues entirely.
- Full autonomy allows human users to focus on evaluating results rather than managing workflows.
- Adopting self-driving software requires adjusting workflows and mental models to leverage AI capabilities.
- Future self-driving software will transform work by freeing attention from routine tasks to focus on user engagement and problem-solving.
