As AI agents become primary software users, competitive advantage shifts from polished end-user applications to modular, well-documented components that agents can compose and recombine. This inverts decades of software design orthodoxy—where user experience and interface design commanded premiums—because agents ignore aesthetics and excel at integrating disparate systems when technical contracts are clear. Companies like Zapier and Make are positioning as agent orchestration platforms, but the real value accrues to whoever owns the canonical libraries and forkable components that agents reach for first.
