While most developers are still debating whether AI agents will replace traditional web interfaces, some are already living in that future. This talk demonstrates the technical reality that's unfolding right now: non-human web traffic is up 18%, AI is impacting Google search, and developers can already go entire workdays without opening a browser.

Drawing from hands-on experience with agent-first workflows and deep expertise in web standards (React, W3C, Mozilla), this session reveals how "the agent is the client" and what that means for how we build, deploy, and monetize web applications today.

You'll see live demonstrations of agent-driven development workflows, learn practical implementation strategies (MCP servers, LLMs.txt, agent detection), and understand the five technical pillars enabling this transformation. This isn't speculative future-talk so much as a field report from developers already building the infrastructure that will power tomorrow's web.

What makes this unique: Unlike theoretical AI talks, this provides immediately actionable guidance based on real-world implementation experience, bridging the gap between emerging agent protocols and practical development decisions happening right now.
