Questions

Short answers, dated where things change.

Yes, in the sense people use the word: Linse has AI agent capabilities. It uses connected tools and carries out approved work while you’re away. Its category is autonomous AI, and proactive describes how it works: it notices what needs doing and prepares it before you ask. Both ask before acting: Duet waits for your approval before it sends, pays, signs or deletes; Linse sends nothing until you approve it.
