OpenAI is cutting Cursor's model access Nov 12, 2026, over a corporate deal, not a bug. The lesson isn't the drama, it's model portability: the model layer is the most volatile part of your stack, so don't hard-wire it. Abstract model calls, keep a tested fallback, and ask: could you switch in 90 days? Here's how.

Did a motion for the Cockpit concept ⁕ 🔈 ON
Design & Creative Direction: Me
Motion & Sound: Claude Code
Cockpit is an AI agent management platform concept that helps teams:
- Set boundaries
- Monitor activity
- Manage approvals
- Track knowledge sources
- Measure performance and costs
It brings together five key AI UX challenges:
👉 Autonomy
👉 Observability
👉 Human Approvals
👉 Context
👉 Analytics
The idea is simple:
As AI agents become more capable, the experiences we design around them need to make their actions more transparent, predictable, and manageable.
Thanks!
Human approvals is the part most agent UIs skip. Good call making it one of the five challenges.
Every landing page picks a side: a product screenshot nobody can read on a phone, or one giant sentence and nothing to look at.

Voted B. The big type reads instantly on a phone, the screenshot gets lost.
Designed an AI research workspace where the agent plans the work and fills a sheet with cited sources as it goes.
Same screen, two modes. Which one would you work in all day? 👀

Keeping the research plan and cited results side by side is a useful way to make the agent’s work easier to inspect. I’d lean toward light mode for reading the table in daylight. How do you distinguish a verified source from one that still needs review?
