Working on AI agent hardware. What are we getting wrong?

I can’t share much about the product yet, but the usual case for dedicated hardware seems obvious: 24/7 availability, remote access, and on-device storage. But do those benefits actually justify another device, especially if most of the intelligence and compute still come from the cloud? A cloud agent like Manus already provides 24/7 access and remote execution. A local agent can run on a computer you already own. So I’d rather hear the uncomfortable answers now than build the wrong product. What would dedicated agent hardware have to do that existing local and cloud agents can’t?
