After using OpenAI Operator over the weekend, I’m convinced that AI agents are going to change how we design UIs. The best part: making an application more accessible to AI also makes it more accessible to humans

It feels very similar to unmoderated usability testing. I can see agents like Operator becoming a valuable tool in UX research

I also wouldn't be surprised if we end up writing media-queries targeting agents. Similar to how we have `prefers-reduced-motion` but for visual hints

You can do that for some use cases, but I doubt we’ll ever agree on a single API to connect everything. Just look at how janky hotel and flight booking search engines are – and that’s a much smaller scope
