The terms around Incredible
Plain-language definitions of the ideas behind a voice-first desktop AI assistant that works across your apps.
Desktop AI agentA desktop AI agent is an AI assistant that runs on your own Mac or Windows computer and carries out tasks inside your real apps, rather than just answering questions in a chat window. It can open apps, fill forms, send messages, and move between programs the way you would.AI that sees your screenAn AI assistant that sees your screen reads what is currently on your display, so it understands what you are working on without you describing it. The more capable ones do not just describe what they see, they act on it.Voice AI assistantA voice AI assistant is software you talk to that understands what you mean and acts on it. Modern ones, built on large language models, go beyond answering questions like Siri or Alexa and actually do work across your apps.Computer-use agentA computer-use agent is an AI that operates a computer the way a person does: it looks at the screen and controls the mouse and keyboard to carry out tasks. It perceives what is on screen, decides the next step, and acts, in a loop.AI agent that works across your appsAn AI agent that works across your apps completes a single request that spans several tools, by connecting to the apps you already use and taking action in each one. It moves between them the way you would, so one spoken or typed request can touch your email, calendar, and documents in a row.Human-in-the-loop AIHuman-in-the-loop AI is AI that does not get the final say on its own when an action matters. It can draft, plan, or prepare the action, but a person reviews and approves it before it happens, and a record of what was done keeps a human in control.AI assistant vs AI agentThe difference between an AI assistant and an AI agent is who acts. An AI assistant helps you with a task and waits for your next instruction. An AI agent takes a goal and carries out the steps on its own to complete it. In short, an assistant suggests and an agent acts.Agentic AIAgentic AI is AI that takes a goal and acts on its own to reach it. Instead of only answering a question, it plans the steps, uses tools and apps, keeps track of what it has done, and adapts as it goes. In short, agentic AI does the work, not just the talking.Vibe computingDoing real work on a computer by describing what you want instead of clicking through the steps. You say the outcome; the system does it.
