This talk excerpt suggests that while humans make about 15 billion queries a day, agents will soon become the internet's "player one," potentially exceeding human query volumes.
The core argument is that when an agent takes actions affecting humans, it must act "knowing all the facts." The author also lists several cases currently being built on this platform, including:
- AI autonomously operating e-commerce businesses
- Products empowering deep research scenarios
- Legal AI platforms
- AI SDRs that automatically research prospects
- Companies in industrial, social, and other domains
Overall, it discusses internet interaction paradigms for the agentic era and how these capabilities will materialize in actual products.
