The Web Form Won't Survive the Agent Era, Marketing Analyst Argues
shashib · x · 2026-09-05
Marketing analyst Shashi Bellamkonda argues the web form is 'a paper form in a digital costume' — unchanged for 25 years and built to over-interpret every field as intent. In the agent era, where assistants interact on users' behalf, lead-capture forms won't survive; marketers should restructure content to be machine-readable. His own blog demonstrates the approach: TL;DR summaries, semantic HTML with JSON-LD, and an llms.txt file so search engines and LLMs cite the source accurately.
