PostHog v2 Alpha / Beta Epic

[raquelmsmith]

We're reimagining what the UI for PostHog should be. Three tenets:

• Agents are the primary doers
• Humans are around for directing, confirming, and sharing
• We have no idea what people / agents will want, so we need to stay as flexible as possible as we learn

Internal Alpha

Who: Internal PostHog employees only. Get feedback from them about what to build next.

List of what we should have built for Alpha:

• Sidebar channels
• Channel creation via codebase scan (eg during wizard setup?)
• Context docs for channels. Agents use the context docs to perform tasks.
• Auto or human-assisted categorization
• Fully AI-generated UIs & apps (powered by MCP / APIs) (we will componentize later)
• Templates for Web analytics & marketing analytics (we'll see if people use these)
• Task UI doesn't feel so code-specific - feels like you can create a canvas, kick off a coding task, do research etc all from one place
  • We might want separate boxes for these things in the future, if it's too hard for people to get on with a single box. But I think we should start simplest and get more complex from there, don't start with complex

Out of scope for private Alpha:

• Rethinking task management - people can vibe this with the generative UI / apps as long as we have the data model - or make it a template for that
• Inbox / Home
