Parallel development discovered during live use
While testing the current OpenAI Codex Live experience alongside ASHA, I discovered that both systems present a blue desktop presence and aim to combine natural conversation with desktop awareness and computer use. Seeing the two systems active next to each other made the similarity immediately apparent.
I am not presenting this as proof of attribution. My point is that ASHA already offers a particularly coherent implementation of the shared-attention layer: it makes targets and intent visible before action through points, regions, freehand marks, and labels; it supports teaching through demonstrations; and it keeps desktop control explicit, visible, and revocable. I am confident that these strengths make ASHA a compelling and, in important respects, more mature system for transparent human-agent collaboration on the desktop.
