Founders Dinner: Make Something Agents Want
What happens when software users are no longer human?
Y Combinator’s mantra is simple: make something people want.
But that rule may be changing.
Make something agents want might be the new paradigm.
A new category of startups is emerging — companies building products specifically for machine consumption.
So the question becomes: Are humans no longer the ICP?
Not exactly.
Humans remain the beneficiaries.
But the interface is shifting to agents.
This isn’t simply software powered by AI.
It’s software designed to be consumed by AI.
Join us for an evening of great food and conversations about the future of software.
