Agent-based computing is outgrowing the web as we know it

For more than 30 years, the web has been our playground, our workplace, our high street and our therapist’s couch. But it’s also been entirely designed for us simple humans who type, tap, click and scroll. But here’s the truth: We’re not going to be the web’s primary users for much longer.

AI agents based on ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude and Gemini are moving from passive assistants to active participants. Today, we ask them to do things for us. Tomorrow, we’ll authorize them to act as us.
