Software needs to evolve to make way for the agents
May 5, 2026
AI makers have trained agents to use software like people do. Now the industry is starting to build software meant for agents instead. Today's agents are like self-driving cars forced to navigate roads built for humans—stoplights, signage, and all. Creating new pathways for AI is a lot easier than creating a whole new system of roads. "Agents interacting with each other will figure out how to communicate efficiently without having to emulate clicks on buttons," said former Meta AI chief Yann LeCun.
