This episode explores the evolving landscape of web development in the age of AI, focusing on the concept of Agent Experience (AX). Against the backdrop of Netlify's success in pioneering the Jamstack architecture, CEO Matt Biilmann discusses how AI is accelerating code creation and content generation, leading to a dramatic increase in web development output. More significantly, Biilmann posits that AI will drive a "UI 2.0," enabling fundamentally new web experiences previously impossible due to cost or technological limitations. For instance, the decreasing cost of 3D production could lead to a web dominated by richer, more immersive content. The discussion then pivots to the crucial role of AX, emphasizing the need for a human-centric design approach that considers how humans and AI agents collaborate to build web applications. Biilmann highlights the emergence of tools like Bolt.new, which are generating thousands of websites daily, and suggests that the future of web development will involve a symbiotic relationship between humans and AI, leading to a more democratized and creative web ecosystem. This signifies a potential paradigm shift in how web platforms are designed and built, with a focus on seamless integration between human creativity and AI-powered tools.
