GUI is dead. Long live agents. π€
Computer interfaces keep evolving: command line β thick clients β the web β and now, agents. Most people move through the same stages with agentic engineering:
Level 1: βIβm getting so much more done.β β‘ AI speeds up how you write code.
Level 2: βI can build all these features myself, ship to every platform.β π AI removes the limits on what you can scope and build.
Level 3: βWhy build a UI at all? I can expose the data via MCP and let usersβ own agents pull data, generate reports, take action directly.β π The interface itself becomes optional.
The front end is dissolving into the protocol layer. The product isnβt the screen anymore, itβs the API your usersβ agents can talk to. π
