One signal

Andrej Karpathy is developing Dobby, an AI agent that can reportedly control connected home systems such as lights, music and security devices from conversational commands. The idea is simple but consequential: tell one agent what you want instead of opening a different app for every appliance.

Why it matters

Dobby is still early-stage and requires technical know-how to set up, so this is a glimpse of a direction rather than a ready-made smart-home replacement. The practical question is whether one agent can make the home simpler without becoming one very chatty master key.

Discuss: Would you trust one AI agent to control several devices in your home, or is that too much authority in one interface?
