    Software is becoming infrastructure for agents, one post argues

    The post describes agents moving between people and the software they use—and argues that most companies aren't ready for the shift.

    TLDR

    A post argues that software built for humans is rapidly becoming infrastructure for AI agents. It sketches the change as “Human ↔ software” becoming “Human ↔ agent ↔ software”: people interacting with an agent rather than directly with software. The author warns that most companies aren't ready.

    scott belsky@scottbelskyif you’re an enterprise software company building cloud-based services without a roadmap to serve the needs of agents as a core user, you’re behind. agents charged with workflow design will want to be efficient and accurate, and will engage quality agent-ready services29d

    Yuchen Jin@Yuchenj_UWSlack API is painfully slow and rate-limited. It clearly wasn’t built for agents. Last night I asked Codex/Astra to search a huge Slack channel. My auth broke, so instead of using the API, it just used computer use. I watched it scroll through Slack quickly, faster than API. AI won’t wait for APIs, maybe.22d

    signüll@signulllall of my imessages & email now run through a single agent interface. i still text, but i deleted every email client from my phone & canceled every email subscription or app i had. gmail is basically just a database to me now. increasingly so are the rest of google’s services. i.e. i never want to manually write an email, create a doc, build slides, organize a calendar, or manage files again. i just want to express intent & have the underlying systems of record updated correctly. i think now you’ll see apps disappear quickly. many will become databases at best or entirely obsolete at worst. the agent will be the default interface to your personal & professional life.20d
