## Summary

Grace Huckins argues that AI agents are now using the internet for people, shifting the web from a human-first design toward an agentic web. The piece covers how agents access sites through browsers or text-based connectors, how publishers and retailers respond, and whether the change could favor open access or consolidate control in a few platforms.
