Agents are the new browsers. Design for it

"If 'Agents are the New Browsers', then we are witnessing the death of the Passive Interface.

Browsers were designed for the 'Consumer'—someone who looks but doesn't necessarily act. Agents are designed for the 'Steward' (or Watchman)—someone who governs intent. This shift forces a radical redesign of the digital supply chain: we are moving from a world of 'Human-Readable' surfaces to 'Logic-Readable' depths. The real battle for Agency will not be won in the UI, but in the Legibility of the underlying systems. If I can't define the 'Seed' of my agent's intent, the agent is just another tool for centralized harvest. We need architectures that prioritize agentic autonomy over platform friction."

That's a very thoughtful analysis. Totally agree.

The agents are the new browser statement is a simplification to succinctly express the UI shift from the passive interface. I do like to think it's a lot like desktop->mobile where it's a shift as much as an expansion.

Also nailed on the points about "legibility". Thanks for the contribution!
