AI, the New UI, Not the New API

The article argues that AI agents may replace rigid REST workflows with one simple endpoint that handles messy human input.

Instead of strict API contracts, an agent could interpret prompts, route requests, and transform data on its own.

The idea is that AI can absorb ambiguity and reduce the need for forms, manual checks, and layered backend logic.

If reliable, this could reshape software design around a single POST endpoint plus AI-driven decision-making.
