Internal agents hit the company wall when they need outside systems

A Reddit post argues that the real frontier for internal agents is when they need to interact with another company’s system instead of staying inside one organization.
- Today’s agents usually stop at the company wall, fall back to humans, or rely on one-off integrations.
- The author’s example is a finance workflow that needs to talk to a mobile operator.
- They suggest the interesting future is “company A’s agent” talking to “company B’s agent” across an open boundary, perhaps via something like robots.txt or .well-known-style publication.
- The post explicitly says it’s a discussion piece, not a product pitch.
