I don't think that's really what people are talking about when they talk about 'agentic' PCs.

I think we are more broadly talking about what the user interface is going to be in the future and how people will interact with a computer - many people already want to interact with ChatGPT to get answers rather than navigate to a website, or want to prompt ChatGPT to generate a leaflet rather than design one in Microsoft Word, so 'Agentic PCs' is just an extension to that.
I think that was example of how previously seemingly impossible things are happening things are happening quickly.
