Why cant we make smart agents run anywhere?

e.g. as a desktop app, from the command line, one your phone, on a server,
and in the browser?

Using javascript right now seems to a great way to facilitate this.

I have programmed chat bots in js using hubot and they are useful.

Right now I'm using kue [1] and am thinking it would be nice to have
something like a distributed URIBurner

We also need to think about what would be a compelling demo.  I keep coming
back to semantic web + multi media as being something anyone can instantly
understand.
