Mixed-Initiative Interaction

An interaction paradigm in which a human and an agent fluidly hand control back and forth on a shared live artifact rather than the agent only returning finished text.

grounded in: HN trend theme 'Live agentic UX' — appetite for watching an agent act in real time on a shared canvas (e.g. an agent drawing on a TLDraw canvas as you converse) instead of just returning text.
