AI Assistants That Act Like Computers, Not People

A growing number of users want AI assistants that are useful tools, not overly anthropomorphized companions.

●Builder Action:Developers can leverage this emerging preference for non-anthropomorphic AI by building tools that prioritize direct command execution and information delivery. APIs should be designed for clarity, with responses focusing on factual output and task confirmation rather than conversational filler. This paradigm shift allows for more predictable and auditable AI interactions within development workflows.
