Summary
According to a post on X by @siddontang, agent apps will grow around the user's filesystem much as business apps grew around the database, because the work that carries over for agents is often a set of files. He describes TiDB Cloud Filesystem as built on that idea: an agent can ask the filesystem to run code against a project's files in a sandbox, and the outputs stay with the project. The snippet is cut off before any further details, so the rest of the post and any availability information are not visible here.

Why it matters
For developers building AI agents, the post suggests that files, not only databases, may be a core layer to design around, along with sandboxed code execution that keeps outputs tied to a project. Teams evaluating agent infrastructure should read the full post and TiDB's product documentation to see how the sandbox and storage work in practice. This is a founder's argument about his own product, so it is not an independent evaluation.
