Pull-based AI agents wait for you to ask. Push-based AI agents act before you even think to.

Most AI tools today are pull-based - you type a prompt, they reply.
But your AI should push insights, alerts, or actions exactly when they matter - no prompt needed.

Imagine:
A trading bot that notifies you before a token tanks.

A personal health AI that pings you when your sleep pattern is about to wreck your day.

A workflow agent that flags issues before they hit production.
All powered by an category-agnostic framework.

I’m exploring push-based AI agent architectures — proactive, context-aware, always watching.

Curious who’s building or thinking about this.

Prompt coding is more expensive than programming ?

I have been writing code with Cursor and claude code since last 8 months,
It has been a smooth ride for projects built through prompt engineering with well documented prd and agile development docs ,But for pre-existing codebases ,particularly the frontend applications even when they already written which are documented at an architectural level, it becomes too iterative and expensive for claude code and cursor to refactor the code with incoming problems of claude code or cursor stuck in the circular loop because of no context of inter-dependencies of modules .
