    A canvas becomes an agent workspaceAn AI agent workspace is a shared environment where people and AI agents communicate, coordinate tasks, exchange files, and observe work state. when the model receives both visual context and structured scene data, plus tools for changing objects, viewports, and state. The talk contrasts this with text-native coding agents, which naturally operate in the medium they were trained on.

    The demonstrations progress from a single-shot interaction to an agent harnessAn AI agent harness is the software framework that packages a model with tools, instructions, context management, execution controls, and user interaction. that can set goals, inspect distant regions, and act autonomously. A multiplayer fairies prototype turns each agent's status and handoffs into visible canvas state, making multi-agent coordination easier to monitor than a collection of chat logs.

    A later tech-tree prototype connects a dependency graph to coding agents, pull requests, local files, and external information. The broader claim is that spatial interfaces can give people and agents a shared place to plan, execute, and understand work, even when the live opening demo does not finish during the talk.

    A spatial harness lets AI agents understand, act on, and coordinate through a shared canvas while remaining connected to coding tools and external data.
