Software for agents

The speaker forecasts pressure to design software for autonomous agents.

In this brief 20VC clip, an unidentified speaker argues that software companies should design for autonomous agents.

The speaker predicts that companies failing to do so could face pressure within six to eighteen months. The clip provides no supporting data or detailed explanation for that timeline.

The claim is a forecast about how software purchasing and use may change, not evidence that people have stopped buying software or that every product needs the same interface.
