I think AI agents are going to need an operating layer
The author argues that as AI agents become more autonomous, a governance layer is needed for control, observability, and auditability, and introduces Bendex Arc as a solution with components like Arc Gate, Arc Replay, Arc Approve, and Arc Memory.
I connected my AI agent to my whole infrastructure. This is what useful AI agents will look like.
The author describes a practical AI agent setup where the agent (Hermes) accesses infrastructure only through an access layer (Teleport) that enforces the human user's identity and permissions, arguing that useful agents must operate within existing permission models rather than having their own god-like access.
Towards an Agent-First Web: Redesigning the Web for AI Agents
This paper proposes a principled redesign of the World Wide Web to accommodate AI agents as primary intermediaries, addressing access rights, rate limiting, and standardized agent identification, moving beyond human-centric assumptions.
Are AI Agents becoming the new abstraction layer over software?
The author discusses how AI agents may serve as a new abstraction layer over existing software, shifting user interaction from navigating UIs to describing outcomes, reducing friction in converting intent into executable tasks.
Most AI agents fail because people build them like chatbots
Many AI agent implementations fail because they treat agents like chatbots, relying on chat history for state rather than using deterministic data structures. The article advocates for separating reasoning (LLM), actions (tools), workflow progress (state machine), and external triggers (webhooks) to build reliable business agents.
