My prediction: AI agents will become the new interface to the internet

I have a prediction about where apps are heading and I’m curious if people disagree.
I think major software companies will eventually need to build two interfaces for their products:
Human UI/UX and AI agent interfaces.
Today if I want Uber, I open the app, choose the destination, select a ride and confirm.
But why should my AI agent have to imitate me clicking through the Uber UI?
Uber could expose authorized capabilities such as:
book\_ride()
cancel\_ride()
get\_trip\_status()
get\_price()
Same idea with Gmail:
read\_email()
search\_email()
draft\_email()
send\_email()
Then my personal AI becomes an orchestration layer across services.
I could say:
“Move my meeting to tomorrow, tell the client, and make sure I have a ride to the new location.”
The AI coordinates Calendar, Gmail and Uber through their APIs.
I think phones will eventually need to evolve in the same direction too. The OS will need secure ways for authorized agents to access things like calendar, contacts, messages, files, location and other capabilities.
I’m not saying screens disappear.
I’m saying the UI may stop being the primary interface to software.
Humans interact through UI.
Agents interact through capabilities/APIs.
And eventually, the AI agent may become the primary interface between humans and the internet.
Curious what I’m missing here.
