What is the agentic web?
I’ve published a new post defining the term and placing it in the broader history of the web:
Read web → Read/write web → Platform web → Agentic web
My core argument is that websites are not disappearing. They still matter, especially because the web is fundamentally a human construct. But their role is expanding, because (like it or not) AI agents will increasingly be used by people to access and interact with websites. https://ricmac.org/2026/05/08/what-is-the-agentic-web/ #AI #AgenticWeb

@ricmac@mastodon.social Richard, there was never such a thing as Read Only Web. Also dot.com is a phenomenon that was not there from 1990, it is a 1997 - 2001 period. Please don't simplify the history like this. https://olia.geocities.institute/@GIFmodel/113413037076001386
