Sierra Co-Founder Launches Ghostwriter

Sierra released a new AI agent platform called “Ghostwriter” that lets users control their computers using their voices.
Why It Hits: AI agents are reshaping our relationship with computers, enabling bots to handle many of our tasks for us. By introducing speech as a way to control them, people may be able to navigate their devices without ever touching a keyboard or mouse.
Behind The Code: Ghostwriter is the first “agent as a service tool,” according to TechCrunch.
Ghostwriter is an AI agent that builds other AI agents via “natural language” prompts (aka simply telling it what to do with your voice).
That allows users to “describe what they need, prompting Ghostwriter to autonomously create and deploy a specialized agent to execute the task.”
Final Dictation: The tool is currently geared toward enterprise systems, letting employees perform tasks on those platforms without directly interacting with their interfaces — all as if they were talking to a colleague. Sierra CEO Bret Taylor says Ghostwriter has already been deployed across several companies, even helping Nordstrom create its own agent in just four weeks.
The Future: When Ghostwriter eventually rolls out to the general public, it may make working at coffee shops a bit more chaotic. We may all need a cone of silence.
