Microsoft sees future of the internet as AI agents crawling websites for us, tech willing
Microsoft has big plans for the internet, such as using AI agents instead of Google Search to find information, book holidays or buy stuff

Microsoft sees artificial intelligence transforming the internet as fundamentally as mobile phones have over the past two decades. But the technology’s limitations could curb its grand vision.
Less than three years later, Microsoft has a plan to move beyond ChatGPT and its copycats by creating the foundation for a new version of the internet.
Microsoft calls it the “open agentic web”, with users sending AI-powered “agents” out into the void to do their bidding. Casual consumers primarily interact with AI now through a Google search – one that repeatedly drums up false answers – or a ChatGPT-style chatbot that generates a conversation.

In Microsoft’s eyes, chatbots are old news.
