What the agentic web means here The term agentic web names the extension of today's internet into a network where software agents take action on your behalf — not just answer questions. As used in this channel's material, the term captures a vision of the web in which agents use tools, make changes in systems, and consult rich, diverse information sources while working for the person who dispatched them.[^385ed583-4107-5c5a-b47a-33e1dde27a3b] Why the ecosystem matters For the agentic web to work well, the ecosystem needs to look a lot like the internet itself: a plumbed network where agents can talk to the websites and APIs that already exist. Kevin Scott describes the parallel directly: For that to work well, the ecosystem needs to look a lot like the internet itself — a plumbed network where agents can talk to the websites and APIs that already exist. The infrastructure push If you already run a website or an API serving people, the practical question is how to plumb things through so agents can reach those resources. Scott pushes for all of Microsoft's internal systems to speak a standard protocol to every agent the company writes — a foundational layer much like the core internet protocols that became the plumbing of the web. This is why the term shows up alongside Model Context Protocol (MCP): the agentic web is the destination, and standard protocols are the bridge that connects agents to today's internet architecture. - Agentic web = an internet extended so agents act on your behalf, use tools, and make changes in systems.- It depends on rich, diverse information sources being reachable through the existing web of sites and APIs.- A standard protocol connecting internal systems to agents is the key infrastructure layer enabling it.
