I have some edison kosmos credits but not really any good ideas of what to have
On March 22nd, a user on LocalLLaMA surfaced a quietly relatable problem: they had accumulated Edison Kosmos credits — the AI research agent platform — and found themselves staring at an empty ideas list. The post asked the community for AI-related research directions worth feeding into the tool. That's the entire story, so far. A person, some credits, and a blank page.
If confirmed as a broader pattern, here is what this means. The gap between access and application is one of the more underappreciated friction points in AI adoption right now. Platforms like Edison Kosmos sell capability, but capability without a use case is just overhead. If users are routinely reaching the tool and then stalling — not for technical reasons, but because they lack a clear research agenda — that points to a product design problem as much as a user knowledge problem. Second-order effect: the platforms that win won't necessarily be those with the most powerful agents, but those that help users discover what to ask in the first place. Onboarding a question is harder than onboarding a feature.
Watch for whether Edison Kosmos or similar platforms begin shipping curated research templates or guided starting prompts — that would confirm the industry is hearing this friction and treating it as a retention problem worth solving.
