AI agents are exceptionally effective tools for harnessing the architecture and open standards underpinning the Web. For instance, I can seamlessly incorporate a video presentation into a previously published article without changing the hyperlink that identifies it. That's the power of hyperlinks, loose coupling, and the Web's enduring architecture.
