  1. I like this whole article from Anil Dash, and especially thinking over this section... #AI #AgenticWeb

    "The Good AI? This isn't a comprehensive list, but it's possible to imagine some traits of an AI system that could credibly offer an alternative to the offerings that are currently dominating the conversation. (This is deliberately light on technical specifics and is intended for a more general audience, but is grounded in familiarity with the current state of progress on… 🧵 1/6

  3. New AWN market signals post: The machine-readable web becomes a business problem

    This week I look beyond the Cloudflare bot-traffic headline and connect several signals pointing in the same direction:

    - bot traffic as machine demand
    - Microsoft Web IQ as grounding infrastructure
    - atomic brand kits
    - Salesforce + Contentful
    - The Economist’s ChatGPT app experiment

    My argument: the web is not going away, but a new machine-facing layer is forming around it. agenticweb.news/agentic-web-ma #AgenticWeb

  4. Who owns that AI agent?

    In my latest Agentic Web News post, I look at DNSid, a project from Innovation Labs / Identity Digital that aims to provide a DNS-based accountability layer for AI agents.

    The bigger question: will agent identity become part of the open web's shared infrastructure, or another layer controlled by the largest AI and cloud platforms?

  6. "If I were building a website tomorrow, or building a SaaS app tomorrow, I would probably build it MCP-first, because that’s how agents increasingly want to consume this."

    A quote from my interview with Alex Salazar, CEO of Arcade — which is building an "actions runtime" (a.k.a. middleware for agents).

  8. In this week's Agentic Web News market signals, I look at the economic layers now emerging in the agentic web:

    📡 Agentic advertising enters its “wild west” phase
    🛒 Amazon launches agentic shopping infrastructure
    🆔 DNS-AID points to the need for agent identity and discovery

    The key question: will these new layers help the wider web ecosystem thrive, or further concentrate power around the biggest AI platforms? agenticweb.news/agentic-web-ad #AgenticWeb

  10. Hhypothesis: Developers who came out of the #indieweb communities are conceptually more comfortable with the #agenticweb ideas, as basically they have been doing it for years.

    #POSSE, which is the beating heart of all things indieweb, isn't LIKE agentic social and web publishing - it IS Agentic web and social publishing.

  12. "Hey...let's be careful out there." Prompted by the immortal words of Sgt. Phil Esterhaus on Hill Street Blues, I look at two lessons from RunSignup’s careful AI rollout:

    1. Embed AI where users already work.
    2. Move fast — but safely.

    I also reflect on some of the negative feedback about agentic AI this week — including continued layoffs in our industry and a lack of user trust in AI.

  14. You know who was doing the #agenticweb thing (and doing it etremely well) before it was cool, and EVEN has a home on the open social web?

    Folks looking for good examples of this that provide real, helpful services and are privacy and fediverse friendly? Look no further than:

  16. Oh wow, another "evolutionary" leap for #Webflow, now apparently powered by the almighty ✨ 'Agentic Web' ✨! Because clearly, what the internet needed was yet another jargon-filled marketing pitch trying to sound like it's 10 years ahead with zero context 🥱.

  18. Reading over this presentation on "After the Feed: Trust, connection, and the next era of social technology." Am reading voices who see this #Agenticweb sea change clearly, but who also see the dangers with clear eyes and suggest ways to build now to counter those dangers. Fully agree that "The infrastructure decisions being made in technical working groups today will determine what human-agent public spaces look like for the next quarter-century.

  20. @tchambers dafuq? What about those of us who don't want "social enabled agents that read your feed, draft your replies, manage your presence" on our network at all, in any shape or form? And what makes you think "build[ing] our own healthy, safe and fair versions of #AgenticWeb interactions" (whatever the f- that's supposed to be) would be more of an obstacle to bad actors than not building them at all?

  22. I know that in some quarters of both the Bluesky and Fediverse side of the #OpenSocialWeb there is a justifiably allergic reaction to AI. I get it and share it. But I'm becoming more convinced than ever at this: if we in the open social web space don't build our own healthy, safe and fair versions of #AgenticWeb interactions here, it will be defined and done for and to us. The big platforms are already building agentic features: social enabled agents that read your feed, draft your… 🧵 1/3

  24. Some key observations here on search and #AgenticWeb

    “Because it was always happening. It was never going to not happen. Does Google owe them the traffic? I don't know. But they did change the terms of the deal. They did weather the storm of introducing AI overviews and then AI mode...And their position is, yeah, we'll send some traffic to you. And it's the last step when people want to buy the shoes. That's the traffic you're going to get. And you have to be happy with that. 🧵 1/4

  26. I cannot state strongly enough that the #AgenticWeb is not a thing. It's just not.

    I will never use the term, nor do I plan to acknowledge its validity in any way. Nothing I ever build, or personally use, will in any way intersect with whatever people may imagine this thing to be.

    You'd better believe this is a hill I am absolutely prepared to die on.

  28. I actually agree here. #RSS and especially RSS2 or Atom feeds are the unsung hero for the #AgenticWeb and what I think is a coming agentic social web. Markdown as a format has seen it's stock value as a format gone up by about 1,000 fold. RSS in the AI space will see the same ride. "RSS is the cleanest structured data layer the open web has ever produced. Machine-readable by design, chronologically ordered, with zero algorithmic manipulation.

  32. I've just relaunched my Ghost blog as Agentic Web News: signals, interviews and analysis on the next phase of the web.

    Previously it was Web Technology News, but I've narrowed my focus — and I'm hoping to turn it into a subscription newsletter over time. Do check it out if you're interested in this subject: agenticweb.news/welcome-to-age #AgenticWeb

    Update, 22/5: the social web syndication is now working! Follow @[email protected] to track my new site on the fediverse.

  34. Automattic’s Head of AI, James LePage, is leaving to start something new: “In my opinion, (good) brand, legacy, taste and distribution matter more in an era when code is effectively free, and there’s a real reason to defend the concept of the Open Web, while building what’s next – which to me, is the Agentic Web.”
