Nicolas Bustamante(@nicbstme):I think most software will be created by AI, and increasingly most software will also be consumed by AI on our behalf. So we’re going to see an explosion of software, not a reduction. Looking at my own usage, I estimate that: • For every web search I do, AI does 1,000x more • For every email I send, AI sends 100x more • For every SMS I send, AI sends 10x more • For every spreadsheet I open, AI probably queries/manipulates 1000x more data behind the scenes The conclusion is pretty simple: we should start building software for agents, because agents are going to become the primary users.
