In a world of openclaw, codex, claude code/cowork, manus, and other agentic systems, it’s becoming clear that the future of software has to be API-first, but also enable human interaction for verification, collaboration with agents and people, and working on the output. It’s generally been the case that software was built for people first and foremost, and then APIs are exposed for other systems to connect into that tool or data. But if we imagine a world where AI agents are doing 10X or 100X more work with software than people, then this paradigm is flipped. Software becomes API-first, with ways of having humans be able to work effectively with the agent, either through a UI as relevant, or chat. If you’re not API-first, then you’re nearly DOA to agents.
