But these are the first steps toward a larger transformation: the emergence of the Agentic Web. Today’s ecosystem resembles the early days of AOL: closed platforms, proprietary agent stores, and siloed orchestration layers. The next era of AI agents will require open infrastructure that allows agents to discover, transact, and co-learn across organizational boundaries. This talk explores three layers of the Agentic Web. First, the Discovery Layer: agents will require discovery infrastructure analogous to AltaVista or Google—but for agents instead of webpages. The challenge is no longer PageRank, but “AgentRank”: how agents are discovered, trusted, verified, and coordinated across the open web. This creates the need for ICANN- and W3C-like governance and standards for agents. Second, the Commerce Layer: what is the dollar value of intelligence? Agents will pay for reasoning, inference, memory, capabilities, and context through emerging “knowledge pricing” markets. Intelligence itself will be discovered, priced before use, coordinated among untrusted entities, and delivered in new ways. Third, the Bazaar Layer: the last 14 years were about machine learning. The next decade will be about machine co-learning.
