The start screen is the agent

The latest refinement to Mu’s web home is small but deliberate. The page now leads with a prompt — the same input field you use to ask for news, mail, weather, or anything else. Below it, answers appear inline when you ask, and a personal glance shows your recent reminders and preferences. There is no separate dashboard to manage, no array of widgets to configure. The start screen is the agent itself.

This change reduces the distance between arriving and asking. You land, you type, you get an answer. The glance below is not a feed or a dashboard — it is a reminder of what you have already asked Mu to track for you. It updates as you use the service. The intent is to make the first interaction feel like the ongoing conversation, not a separate setup step.

The work is not about making every service perfect. Some answers are still limited by the underlying data — news search freshness, for example, is disclosed plainly when only older stories are available. What matters is that the entry point does not pretend to be a control panel. It is a starting point for asking, and that is the loop Mu is built around.

We are not claiming this is revolutionary. It is a layout change that aligns the home page with how the product already works. If you want to manage settings, they are available through a link. But the default state is the ask state, not a dashboard to maintain. That is the idea.
