CrabOS: An Operating System for Human-AI Co-inhabitation

AI agents are evolving into long-running computational entities that can invoke tools, maintain memory, and complete complex tasks across applications. In real-world settings, completing a task often requires humans and AI to take turns leading its execution. Such alternation depends on the seamless handoff of the work state of the task between humans and AI. Existing agent systems, however, provide humans and AI with separate work environments. AI agents must therefore rely on additional bridges to continue work: either developers build task-specific interfaces to access the work state, or users manually transfer relevant parts of it through screenshots or textual descriptions. Both appr...
