It is becoming increasingly clear that AI agents will do more on the internet and operate many websites, so why are web UIs still built only for how humans use them? Why isn't it being extended so AI agents can talk to websites? Right now, the ridiculous amount of complexity it takes for AI agents to operate a website and perform simple operations is crazy; look at the Claude Chrome extension, it has to take multiple screenshots and is so slow.
I built a React-like plugin that allows React-based apps to talk to AI agents easily using events. It can fill forms, react to alerts and stuff. This was very easy to do (full disclosure, I did a lot of front-end engineering at FAANG for a long time), and my AI agent was able to do stuff in seconds, way faster than most AI agents that operate the browser. This was easy to do, so why isn't everyone doing it?
