Looking over this, glad to see those #AgenticWeb discussions starting at the WC3. I deeply feel both the promise and the dangers to the Open Web and the Open Social Web are very real.

Agentic Web by Tim Chambers on Surf

What is the agentic web?

I’ve published a new post defining the term and placing it in the broader history of the web:

Read web → Read/write web → Platform web → Agentic web

My core argument is that websites are not disappearing. They still matter, especially because the web is fundamentally a human construct. But their role is expanding, because (like it or not) AI agents will increasingly be used by people to access and interact with websites. https://ricmac.org/2026/05/08/what-is-the-agentic-web/ #AI #AgenticWeb

What Is the Agentic Web? From Read/Write to Agentic

The web is entering a new phase: AI agents are becoming a new class of user. Here’s what the agentic web means, why websites still matter, and how the web is shifting from pages to capabilities.

AX was the new DX. Now it’s becoming the new UX.

In my latest post, I explore how "agent experience" has morphed beyond "developer experience" and become a branch of "user experience". https://ricmac.org/2026/05/05/agent-experience-new-ux/ #AgenticWeb #AI

Agent Experience: Why AX Is Becoming the New UX

AI agents are becoming a new class of user for websites, apps, and platforms. That means Agent Experience is shifting from developer tooling to agent usability.

4/x Again, I will make it easy for you by putting the #AI hashtag on all of my AI-related posts.

I’ll also add that if you have followed me for a bit, I hope you know by now that I’m not an ‘AI bro’ and that I always engage in web tech conversations with honesty and integrity. I’m not looking to be an “influencer” or anything like that. I’m always curious about, and tinkering with, new web tech; and in this case, I’m also trying to eke out a living by specializing in the #AgenticWeb.

Testing the #AgenticWeb feed from tags.pub -> this post should show up on @agenticweb, which you can follow if you’re interested in the topic.

(Cool new service from @evan that spreads tagged content further than normal; apparently just following a hashtag in Mastodon etc isn’t as effective as you’d think)
