  • 用可读的自然语言文本共享工作状态,人机共用同一界面
  • 实测支持复杂任务中人机交替执行,避免手动传递信息
  • 适合构建下一代人机协同的AI代理系统

AI代理正演变为能调用工具、维持记忆并跨应用完成复杂任务的长期运行计算实体。在真实场景中,任务常需人类与AI交替主导,这依赖于工作状态在二者间的无缝交接。现有代理系统为人类和AI提供独立的工作环境,导致AI必须通过额外桥梁继续任务:要么开发者定制接口访问状态,要么用户手动通过截图或文字描述传递信息。这两种方式成本高且难以扩展。本文提出‘人机共栖’理念,设计并实现CrabOS以实现该概念。CrabOS将工作状态表示为人类与AI均可直接读取和操作的自然语言文本对象,通过统一可审计界面实现无缝协作。案例研究显示,CrabOS将复杂任务中人机交替领导的支持从依赖桥接的应用层方案提升为原生操作系统能力,为开发与运行AI代理提供了新基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

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 approaches make handoffs costly and scale poorly. We propose Human-AI Co-inhabitation, a type of work environment that enables humans and AI to seamlessly take turns continuing work on the same task, and design and implement CrabOS to realize this concept. CrabOS represents the work state as natural-language-readable text objects shared by humans and AI, allowing both to access and manipulate it directly through the same auditable interface without bridges. Case studies show that CrabOS elevates support for complex tasks with alternating human and AI leadership from bridge-dependent application-level solutions to native operating-system capabilities, which provide a new foundation for developing and running AI agents.
