Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming a part of the crypto ecosystem, with AI-powered agents now capable of analysing market data, identifying trends, and even executing trades automatically. Supporters believe AI can react faster to market movements as compared to humans.

For years, solving a simple problem meant downloading another app, creating another account, and inevitably forgetting another password. That cycle is starting to break. AI agents are stepping in as a kind of universal coordinator, they move across tools, make small decisions, and get things done without requiring you to context-switch every five minutes. This doesn't mean apps are going away. But their role is shifting. What was once the front door of a digital experience might quietly become the back end, the plumbing that agents tap into while keeping users out of the weeds. The companies building apps today face a question worth taking seriously: are they designing for people, or are they designing something an agent can work with just as well? Because in a world where the agent handles the interface, the app that survives won't necessarily be the prettiest or the most intuitive. It'll be the one that's most useful to something that never gets tired, never loses track, and never needs the onboarding tour.
