We are witnessing a fundamental shift in how we interact with computers.

For decades, the paradigm has been direct manipulation: point, click, type. You tell the computer exactly what to do, step by step.

Autonomous agents change this. You define the goal, and the agent figures out the steps.

The Loop

1. Perceive: The agent reads the screen or API.
2. Think: It uses an LLM to decide on an action.
3. Act: It clicks a button or sends a request.
4. Learn: It sees the result and adjusts.

This loop allows for software that feels less like a tool and more like an employee. The UI implications are massive.
