Agentic-Responsive Design: AI agents and the future of the web

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/agentic-responsive-design-ai-agents-and-the-future-of-the-web/

Agentic-Responsive Design: AI agents and the future of the web

It’s November 2028. Maya’s personal AI agent quietly handles her holiday shopping, easily navigating dozens of e-commerce sites. Unlike the clunky chatbots of 2024, her agent seamlessly parses product specifications, compares prices, and makes purchase decisions based on her preferences.

“The boots for your sister,” it explains, “are from that sustainable brand you both discussed last month – I found them at 20% off and confirmed they’ll arrive before your family gathering.” What would have taken Maya hours of manual searching now happens automatically, thanks to a web rebuilt for agent-first interaction.

—> The future, three years from now.

As we approach the end of 2024, a new paradigm shift is emerging in how we build and interact with the internet. With rapid advances in AI reasoning capabilities, tech giants and innovative startups alike are racing to define the next evolution of digital interaction: AI agents, .

Google, Apple, OpenAI, and Anthropic have all declared AI agents as their primary focus for 2025. This transformation promises to be as significant as the web and mobile revolutions were and represents perhaps the most natural interface for LLM-powered technology, far more intuitive and capable than the chatbots that preceded it.

In the recent No Priors Podcast, Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang stated that “there’s no question we’re gonna have AI employees of all kinds” that would “augment every single job in the company”.

Moreover, Gartner projects that by 2028, 33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, up from less than 1% today, enabling 15% of day-to-day work decisions to be made autonomously. This rapid adoption mirrors the mobile revolution of the early 2010s but with potentially more far-reaching implications for how we interact with digital services.

AI agents: Automation and intelligent assistance (2025 guide)

AI agents are intelligent software entities designed to operate autonomously and achieve specific goals.

What sets AI agents apart?

While there’s ongoing debate about what an AI Agent is, at its core, what sets agents apart from traditional software is their ability to autonomously plan and adapt.

Unlike rule-based systems that follow predetermined paths, agents can formulate strategies, execute them, and—most importantly—adjust their approach based on outcomes and changing circumstances. Think of them as digital assistants that don’t just follow a script, but actually reason about the best way to achieve your goals.

If a planned action fails or yields unexpected results, an agent can reassess and chart a new course, much like a human would. This flexibility and autonomous decision-making capability marks a departure from traditional software, which can only respond in pre-programmed ways.

The use of tools

Central to agents’ capabilities is their sophisticated use of tools. Much like a handyman who knows when to use a screwdriver versus a hammer, agents must determine which tools to use, when to use them, and how to use them effectively.

For instance, when helping you plan a trip, an agent might first use a calendar tool to check your availability, then a flight search API to find options, and finally a weather service to ensure you pack appropriately. The key isn’t just having access to these tools — it’s the agent’s ability to reason about their use and orchestrate them intelligently to accomplish complex tasks.

This article was originally published here at AI Tidbits, where you can read more of Sahar’s fascinating perspectives on AI-related topics.

From mobile-first to agent-first

Remember when ‘www’ stood for something closer to ‘Wild Wild West’ than ‘World Wide Web’? The early 2000s internet was an untamed digital frontier, where users navigated through a maze of pop-ups, fought off malware, and relied on bookmarked URLs just to find their way around.

The early 2010s, when mobile exploded, weren’t that different as businesses scrambled to make their websites mobile-responsive. That shift wasn’t just about resizing content for smaller screens–it fundamentally changed how we approached web design, user experience, and digital strategy. It created a whole new field of website and mobile optimization: choosing the best colors and text copy to increase traffic, conversion rates, and stickiness. 

The agentic AI inflection point

Today, we stand at a similar inflection point with AI agents.

Just as mobile-responsive design emerged from the need to serve smartphone users better, “agent-responsive design” is emerging as websites adapt to serve AI agents. But unlike the mobile revolution, which was about accommodating human users on different devices, the agent revolution requires us to rethink our fundamental assumptions about who – or what – is consuming our digital content.

In this agent-first era, websites will undergo a dramatic transformation. Gone are the days of flashy advertisements, elaborate typography, and resource-heavy images — elements that consume bandwidth but provide little value to AI agents.

Instead, we’re moving toward streamlined, efficient interfaces that prioritize function over form. These new websites will feature minimalist designs optimized for machine parsing, structured data layers that enable rapid information extraction, standardized interaction patterns that reduce processing overhead, and resource-efficient components that minimize token usage and computation costs.

This evolution extends beyond traditional websites. Mobile applications are already being reimagined with agent-interaction layers, as evidenced by recent novel methods like Apple’s Ferret-UI 2 and CAMPHOR, enabling seamless agent navigation of mobile interfaces while maintaining human usability.

Google and Microsoft also invest in this space, as demonstrated in their recent papers AndroidWorld and WindowsAgentArena, respectively. Both are fully functional environments for developers to build and test agents.

The incentives are becoming clear: optimize for agents, and you’ll unlock new channels of engagement and commerce. Ignore them, and you risk becoming invisible in the emerging agent-first internet.

What is Agent Responsive Design?

At its core, agent-responsive design represents a radical departure from traditional web design principles. Instead of optimizing for human visual perception and engagement, websites must provide clear, structured interfaces that agents can efficiently navigate and interact with.

This transformation will likely unfold in two phases:

Phase 1: Hybrid optimization

Initially, websites will maintain dual interfaces: one optimized for human users and a “shadow” version optimized for agents. This agent-optimized version will feature:

Enhanced semantic markup with clear structure and purpose

Unobfuscated HTML that welcomes rather than blocks automated interaction

Well-defined aria-label labels and metadata to help agents choose and interact with the right UI components

Direct access to knowledge bases and documentation by exposing information beyond what’s visible on the “website interface”, giving the querying agents access to their RAG to easily retrieve information such as refund policy or answer questions the agent has based on their help docs. Also, after being authenticated, providing easy access to user-related information such as last purchases or stored payment methods.

Streamlined authentication and authorization protocols

Phase 2: API-first architecture

The second phase will move beyond traditional UI components, focusing on exposing clean, well-documented APIs that agents can directly interact with. Consumer websites like Amazon, TurboTax, and Chase will:

Provide clear documentation of available tools and capabilities. The agent will leverage its reasoning engine and the task the human delegated to plan the tools and sequence that it needs to use.

Offer structured workflows with explicit input/output specifications

Enable direct access to business logic and user data

Support sophisticated authentication mechanisms for agent-based interactions

AI agents will make traditional A/B testing obsolete

In an agent-first world, the traditional approach to A/B testing becomes obsolete. Instead of testing different button colors or copy variations for human users, companies like Amazon will need to optimize for agent interaction efficiency and task completion rates.

These A/B tests will target similar metrics as today: purchases, sign-ups, etc., employing LLMs to generate and test thousands of agent personas without the need for lengthy user testing cycles.

This new paradigm of testing will require new success metrics such as:

Model compatibility across different AI providers (GPT, Claude, etc.) – each language model has its own nuances. Optiziming can help businesses squeeze a few more percentage points for conversion, bounce rate, etc.

Task completion rate for the human-delegated task at hand, like purchasing a product or subscribing to a newsletter

Token efficiency and latency optimization, enabling lightning-fast interactions while minimizing computational overhead and associated costs

Authentication and security protocol effectiveness, ensuring robust protection while maintaining frictionless agent operations

The competitive landscape in this new era will be shaped significantly by model providers’ unique advantages. Companies like OpenAI and Google, with their vast user interaction data, will possess an inherent edge in creating agents that deeply understand user preferences and behaviors. However, this also creates an opportunity for innovation in the form of universal memory and context layers, like what mem0 is pitching with their recently released Chrome extension—systems that can bridge different models, devices, and platforms to create a cohesive user experience.

Drawing from Sierra’s τ-bench research, we can anticipate the emergence of standardized benchmarks for measuring agent-readiness across verticals and task types, similar to how we currently measure mobile responsiveness or page load times.

New discovery protocol – Agent Engine Optimization (AEO)

Just as websites evolved from manually curated directories to sophisticated search engine optimization, the agent era demands a new discovery mechanism. The question isn’t just about findability—it’s about actionability: how do agents identify and interact with the most relevant and capable digital services?

In 2005, Google introduced the Sitemap protocol to improve search engine crawling efficiency, enable discovery of hidden content, and provide webmasters with a standardized method for communicating site structure and content updates to search engines. What is the Sitemap equivalent for AI agents?

Just as SEO emerged to help websites become discoverable in search engines with Google’s inaugural PageRank algorithm, Agent Engine Optimization (AEO) will become crucial for visibility in an agent-first web. Back in Aug 2023, I called it Language Model Ranking Optimization.

This new protocol will go beyond traditional sitemaps, providing agents with structured information about websites:

Available services and capabilities like signing up, placing an order, booking a flight seat

Authentication requirements – what actions require authentication

Data schemas and API endpoints – what data does each action/endpoint need? What is mandatory vs. optional?

Privacy and security protocols – how information is being stored 

Service level agreements like refund and shipping guidelines and data retention policy

Exposing such information will become a standard feature in website builders like Shopify and Wix, much like mobile responsiveness is today. These platforms will automatically generate and maintain agent-interaction layers, democratizing access to the agent-first economy for businesses of all sizes.

Companies will need to optimize not just for search engines but for an emerging ecosystem of agent directories and registries that help autonomous agents discover and interact with digital services.

COMPANYCompany name:DropboxCompany url, if any:http://www.getdropbox.com/If you have a demo, what's the url? For non-software, demo can be a video.(Please don't password protect it; just use an obscure url.)Here's a screencast that I'll also put up on news.yc: http://www.getdropbox.com/screencast/ If you do have a Windows box or two, here's the latest build: http://www.getdropbox.com/u/2/DropboxInstaller.exeWhat is your company going to make?Dropbox synchronizes files across your/your team's computers. It's much better than uploading or email, because it's automatic, integrated into Windows, and fits into the way you already work. There's also a web interface, and the files are securely backed up to Amazon S3. Dropbox is kind of like taking the best elements of subversion, trac and rsync and making them "just work" for the average individual or team. Hackers have access to these tools, but normal people don't. It's currently in private beta and I add batches of people every few days.There are lots of interesting possible features. One is syncing Google Docs/Spreadsheets (or other office web apps) to local .doc and .xls files for offline access, which would be strategically important as few web apps deal with the offline problem.FOUNDERSYC usernames of all founders, including you, dhouston, separated by spaces. (That's usernames, not given names: "bksmith," not "Bob Smith." If there are 3 founders, there should be 3 tokens in this answer.)dhoustonYC usernames of all founders, including you, dhouston, who will live in the Bay Area June through August 2007 if we fund you. (Again, that's usernames, not given names.)dhoustonFor each founder, please list (separate line for each item): YC username; name; age; year of graduation, school, degree (unfinished in parens) and subject for each degree; email address; personal url, github url, linkedin url, facebook id, twitter id; employer and title for previous jobs. List the main contact first. Separate founders with blank lines. Put an asterisk before the name of anyone not able to move to the Bay Area.dhouston; Drew Houston; 24; 2006, MIT, SB computer science; ; --; Bit9, Inc (went full time to part time 1/07; leaving in May) - project lead/software engineerAlthough I'm working with other people on Dropbox, strictly speaking I'm the only founder right now. My friend Jeff Mancuso, a great hacker, Stanford grad and creator of Sftpdrive (http://www.sftpdrive.com) is putting together a Mac port, but can't join as a founder right now as a former cofounder of his started an extremely similar company called Sharpcast. My friend and roommate Tom Hoover from MIT is helping out too, but he works with me at Bit9, and a non-solicit clause in my employment contract prevents me from recruiting him (and the VP Eng explicitly told me not to recruit him.)In any case, I have several leads, have been networking aggressively, and fully intend to get someone else on board -- another good hacker and/or a more sales-oriented guy (e.g. the role Matt fills at Xobni). I'm aware that the odds aren't good for single founders, and would rather work with other people anyway.Please tell us in one or two sentences about the most impressive thing other than this startup that each founder has built or achieved.Drew - Programming since age 5; startups since age 14; 1600 on SAT; started profitable online SAT prep company in college (accoladeprep.com). For fun last summer reverse engineered the software on a number of poker sites and wrote a real-money playing poker bot (it was about break-even; see screenshot url later in the app.)Please tell us about an interesting project, preferably outside of class or work, that two or more of you created together. Include urls if possible.Accolade Online SAT prep (launched in 2004) (https://www.accoladeprep.com/sshot2.gif ; it's using play money there but worked with real money too.)How long have the founders known one another and how did you meet? Have any of the founders not met in person?There's a joke in here somewhere.If we fund you, which of the founders will commit to working exclusively (no school, no other jobs) on this project for the next year?DrewDo any founders have other commitments between June through August 2007 inclusive?No; I'm leaving Bit9 in a few weeks to work on this full time regardless of YC funding.Do any founders have commitments in the future (e.g. finishing college, going to grad school), and if so what?No. Probably moving to SF in SeptemberPROGRESSHow long have each of you been working on this? Have you been part-time or full-time? Please explain.3 months part time. About ~5KLOC client and ~2KLOC server of python, C++, Cheetah templates, installer scripts, etc.How far along are you? Do you have a beta yet? If not, when will you? Are you launched? If so, how many users do you have? Do you have revenue? If so, how much? If you're launched, what is your monthly growth rate (in users or revenue or both)?Prototype - done in Feb. Beta - in people's hands now. Version I can charge for: 6-8 weeks?IDEAWhat's new about what you're making? What substitutes do people resort to because it doesn't exist yet (or they don't know about it)?Most small teams have a few basic needs: (1) team members need their important stuff in front of them wherever they are, (2) everyone needs to be working on the latest version of a given document (and ideally can track what's changed), (3) and team data needs to be protected from disaster. There are sync tools (e.g. beinsync, Foldershare), there are backup tools (Carbonite, Mozy), and there are web uploading/publishing tools (box.net, etc.), but there's no good integrated solution.Dropbox solves all these needs, and doesn't need configuration or babysitting. Put another way, it takes concepts that are proven winners from the dev community (version control, changelogs/trac, rsync, etc.) and puts them in a package that my little sister can figure out (she uses Dropbox to keep track of her high school term papers, and doesn't need to burn CDs or carry USB sticks anymore.)At a higher level, online storage and local disks are big and cheap. But the internet links in between have been and will continue to be slow in comparison. In "the future", you won't have to move your data around manually. The concept that I'm most excited about is that the core technology in Dropbox -- continuous efficient sync with compression and binary diffs -- is what will get us there.Who are your competitors, and who might become competitors? Who do you fear most?Carbonite and Mozy do a good job with hassle-free backup, and a move into sync would make sense. Sharpcast (venture funded) announced a similar app called Hummingbird, but according to Jeff (who is good friends with the tech lead) they're taking an extraordinarily difficult approach involving NT kernel drivers. Google's coming out with GDrive at some point. Microsoft's Groove does sync and is part of Office 2007, but is very heavyweight and doesn't include any of the web stuff or backup. There are apps like Omnidrive and Titanize but the implementations are buggy or have bad UIs.What do you understand about your business that other companies in it just don't get?Competing products work at the wrong layer of abstraction and/or force the user to constantly think and do things. The "online disk drive" abstraction sucks, because you can't work offline and the OS support is extremely brittle. Anything that depends on manual emailing/uploading (i.e. anything web-based) is a non-starter, because it's basically doing version control in your head. But virtually all competing services involve one or the other.With Dropbox, you hit "Save", as you normally would, and everything just works, even with large files (and binary diffs ensure that only the changed portions go over the wire).How do or will you make money? How much could you make?(We realize you can't know precisely, but give your best estimate.)The current plan is a freemium approach, where we give away free 1GB accounts and charge for additional storage (maybe ~$5/mo or less for 10GB for individuals and team plans that start at maybe $20/mo.). It's hard to get consumers to pay for things, but fortunately small/medium businesses already pay for solutions that are subsets of what Dropbox does and are harder to use. There will be tiered pricing for business accounts (upper tiers will retain more older versions of documents, have branded extranets for secure file sharing with clients/partners, etc., and an 'enterprise' plan that features, well, a really high price.)I've already been approached by potential partners/customers asking for a web services API to programmatically create Dropboxes (e.g. to handle file sharing for Assembla.com, a web site for managing global dev teams). There's a natural synergy between project mgmt/groupware web apps (which do to-do lists, calendaring, etc. well but not files) and Dropbox for file sharing. I've also had requests for an enterprise version that would sit on a company's network (as opposed to my S3 store) for which I could probably charge a lot.EQUITYIf you're already incorporated, when were you? Who are the shareholders and what percent does each own? If you've had funding, how much, who from, and at what valuation or valuation cap?Not incorporatedIf you're not incorporated yet, please list the percent of the company you plan to give each founder, and anyone else you plan to give stock to.(This question is as much for you as us.)Drew, presently sole owner but saving some stock (a couple percent?) for work done by Jeff & Tom over the summer.LEGALAre any of the founders covered by noncompetes or intellectual property agreements that overlap with your project? Will any be working as employees or consultants for anyone else?Drew: Some work was done at the Bit9 office; I consulted an attorney and have a signed letter indicating Bit9 has no stake/ownership of any kind in DropboxWas any of your code written by someone who is not one of your founders? If so, how can you safely use it?(Open source is ok of course.)NoOTHERSIf you had any other ideas you considered applying with, please list them. One may be something we've been waiting for. Often when we fund people it's to do something they list here and not in the main application.One click screen sharing (already done pretty well by Glance); a wiki with version-controlled drawing canvases that let you draw diagrams or mock up UIs (Thinkature is kind of related, but this is more text with canvases interspersed than a shared whiteboard) to help teams get on the same page and spec things out better (we use Visio and Powerpoint at Bit9, which suck for working collaboratively); some ideas surrounding better web analytics for newbiesPlease tell us something surprising or amusing that one of you has discovered.(The answer need not be related to your project.)
