Humans are no longer your primary customers

For decades, product companies have obsessed over GUIs, click-through rates, and capturing human attention. But a massive paradigm shift is happening right now:

• Before: Humans interacted directly with software.

• Now: Humans delegate goals to AI Agents, and the Agents interact with the software on our behalf.

The reality check: If your company doesn’t expose clean, accessible interfaces for AI Agents to use, your product will become completely invisible to the end-user. The companies that win the next decade won't just have the most intuitive UI—they will have the most accessible APIs for AI delegation. If an AI can't use your product, you will lose the market.

Will your product survive the AI-first era?
