Make Room for Another End User at the EUC Table

Humans and robots working in cubicles with virtual desktops delivered by EUC as someone looks out over the vast expanse of users. This image is AI generated using the following prompt in Copilot: Create a digital illustration of a vast office landscape filled with hundreds of cubicles stretching to the horizon. Each cubicle is separated by light gray walls and contains either a humanoid robot or a human worker seated at a desk with a computer. Approximately 80% of the cubicles should contain robots, and 20% should contain humans. The robots should vary in eye color (e.g., blue, green, amber, violet) and some should wear ties to resemble office attire. The humans should be dressed in typical business clothing. The humans should be both male and female. The humans should represent different nationalities. There should be only one human or robot per cubical. In the foreground, include a person standing in an elevated position, looking out over the cubicle grid as if surveying the scene. The overall tone should be muted and professional, with soft lighting and a sense of depth created by the receding cubicles.

What is this new user type is that’s going to take #EUC and #AI by storm? Simply put, it will be an #agentic agent user.
