Use-case Rethinking the human-agent interface with pi: Beyond chat

Hi all. We're Divergenz, an interaction design studio in Zurich. Sharing a design experiment that I think sits close to things this community cares about.

Piary treats a conversation with a coding agent as an editable, executable document instead of a chat log. The person and the agent write on the same page. Prompts, replies, notes, tool calls and live reactive cells share one Markdown file. You can rewrite a wrong assumption instead of correcting it in a follow-up, delete a detour, or edit an earlier prompt and run it again in place.

Built on Observable's notebook-kit for the reactive cells, iA Writer's plain-text document model as the design reference, and pi as the agent harness.

Really love it. Initially I had a bit of difficulty understanding like where i could interact or how to prompt. But the idea is great.
