Agentic Web roundtable: websites expose tools via WebMCP, bring your own agent
jnbrymn · reddit · 2026-11-12
jnbrymn advocates the "Agentic Web": instead of handing off tasks, work alongside your agent on the same surface. WebMCP lets websites expose tools to agents — you click buttons and adjust filters while the agent sees your context and acts. He argues against built-in chatbots on every site, preferring B.Y.O.A. (Bring Your Own Agent) that already knows your preferences, illustrated with a Zillow home-search example. Open questions: how sites share knowledge/state, keeping the agent in sync, and controlling what personal context the site sees. An open roundtable is scheduled Thursday Nov 12 at noon CST via Luma.
