Agents Sell The UX Of Your Data
Agents are selling you the UX of using your data and making it more useful.
Maybe that will change what people pay for. Part of what a product sells is the experience, which is the screens on top of data you could get anyway. When a screen costs one prompt and fits your question, a $29 disk cleaner is in trouble.
But two things still hold up. Some products own the data, the network or the trust, and an agent cannot copy that, so they become the sources it plugs into. And a tool a team uses every day needs a stable interface, because people learn it once and share it. A screen made new for every question cannot do that.
Interesting times ahead for all product teams in either case 🤞
