The Buzz#
The most signal-rich development this week is the enterprise pivot toward “headless” software architectures explicitly built for autonomous agents rather than humans. As platforms like Salesforce and Box transition their interfaces to API-first endpoints, the industry is recognizing that AI agents will soon operate and consume software at magnitudes exceeding human capability, fundamentally rewriting the economics of enterprise IT.
