That's where it's headed. An old laptop or mini desktop with Linux is all you need — OpenClaw handles the rest. Morning briefings, inbox monitoring, background research, scheduling… the productivity gains are wild once it's running 24/7 on your own hardware.

I was more trying to poke at whether you believe we will still have a web UI style base system, secure and hardened and then agents on top, or if instead it will end up being agents all the way down.

What for? It doesn't have any of the privacy of start9. It doesn't even have the privacy of installing a bunch of software directly. Nor the accuracy. It is a security nightmare.

Currently yes it is, but imagine if Start9 themselves or someone similar pivots to creating a hardened core agent instead, like @ODELL suggested a bit further down. I think that, with primary voice control and operation is an experience bump that will bring a lot more people online.
