I often find myself grappling with a world that—through no fault of its own—is incomplete. It runs on decaying rails, systems built long ago that were never designed for the speed or complexity we demand today. They’re slow and far from frictionless.

The truth is this: we built industries, legislation, and frameworks without shared standards, without universal rules. Then came the internet. For the first time, we had an interactive layer of global infrastructure built on strong shared standards: structured data, interchangeable APIs, feeds, logic trees. Human-comprehensible logic. And it worked. We created layers of extraordinary complexity on top of simple transistors.

But that progress hit a plateau.

Our ability to build meaningful new experiences online is stalling, because in reality there’s just so much you can uberize and Airbnb. This is the problem every entrepreneur in the tech sphere faces.

As humans though we are inherently problem-solvers. I’d define a problem as anything we do out of necessity, not joy. And by that measure, bureaucracy tops the list. Our solution to these messy systems? AI Agents — To Be Honest “Simple” is an understatement for AI. The reason is that AI does one thing exceptionally well: it finds structure in chaos. It imposes order where our minds can’t. And that opens up a crucial question: if AI can go surpass human logic while being cheaper (account for effort required by a human), what’s the next step? And how do we use it to overcome the friction of physical and institutional world?

That answer I believe lies in the people around us, especially my generation, Gen Z. We’ve grown up avoiding friction at all costs. No one calls to order food, book a flight, or call a taxi anymore; and Why would we? Want food? Uber. Want a flight? Hop on Google. Everything is seamless and frictionless. We’ve fined tuned our brains to this simplicity and instantaneous feedback.

But that expectation crashes the moment we have to interact with more serious stuff. Want to buy a car? Write a contract? Deal with government forms? All of a sudden you’re dealing with bureaucracy. The most ironically unstructured structure humans have ever created. You know the steps, but what should seem as a straight-forward process becomes a Pandora’s box of hoops and hurdles.

So here’s the question: How do we bring massive, outdated systems onto fast, modern rails from it’s root?

I personally become more and more compelled to think the answer is AI agents.

In short, an AI agent is a generative model that can act independently: searching, deciding, negotiating. Why is that important? Because from the time we were kids, we were taught that shapes go in matching holes. Circles in circles. Squares in squares. Clear patterns. But the systems we have today, need to understand what our minds make seem simple in its purest form, the mathematical one.

What if, instead of interacting with everyone, you could tap a button or two and an AI agent automatically goes onto any outdated system or website? Reads the forms. Talks to the reps. Negotiates your deal. Books what you need. Knowing your preferences. You just deploy, pay, and boom you are in your new car.

We already interact with the world through abstract layers. AI agents just make those layers smarter, faster, and less frustrating without us noticing they are even there.

And honestly, in a generation that cares less about how things work and more about why and now, that’s the only interface that matters.

If our job as creators is to solve real problems and improve people’s lives, then we shouldn’t be bolting more parts onto inefficient systems. We should be rebuilding the rails they run on entirely.Not one startup or product at a time, but an internet a time.
