Asynchronous Interaction Design

Asynchronous interaction design handles the UX of tasks that happen over time rather than in real-time. When an agent takes 30 minutes to research a market, the user shouldn't be staring at a loading spinner. Async design covers delegation patterns (hand off a task and walk away), notification strategies (how and when to alert the user), result presentation (showing work products when the user returns), and queue management (tracking multiple in-flight tasks). This is crucial for agents doing real work that takes real time.
