I have been thinking a lot about the rise of AI agents and how it will change the way we interact with internet products. It feels like we have officially left the Internet 2.0 era and are now in the take-off phase of Internet 3.0. The biggest change I see happening in our day-to-day lives is a lack of future interactions with multiple product interfaces. Rather than navigating to various websites and using these products like neanderthals, we are more likely to talk with our agents, then these agents will "use" the internet and various products. Everything becomes more digitally connected, including information and money, but we see a massive overhaul of the consumer internet experience at the same time. You can think of this as the internet plumbing getting more complex, but the interface getting simpler. This will be very obvious when it comes to software interfaces. I also see the same trend happening with how we interact with our computers and phones. The amount of typing done by the average worker will quickly contract the same way that writing with a pen has largely contracted as a percentage of overall communication. Speaking is faster than typing. It is easier and more natural. And it will unlock productivity, which drives economic returns for people and companies. We will look back and think it is ridiculous that we used to put our hands on a keyboard, type in a URL, navigate to a website, and click a bunch of buttons to accomplish something. You can see early signs of this shift towards simple, agentic workflows today. There is still a ton of opportunity ahead though. I would love to hear whether others are seeing these shifts in their own behavior over recent months?
