A Future Without Fingertips

[analyst75 12]

Consider: some 80% of small to medium-sized businesses around the world don’t have a website.

 

Many businesses in emerging economies rely on social media platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook) as their primary digital presence instead of formal websites.

 

But even in more digitally advanced economies, the number can hover around half.

 

Why? Simple answer: although we’ve made it easier to make a website, it’s still not easy enough.

 

Let’s say a yoga instructor wants to offer online classes but lacks tech skills or a budget.

 

Instead of struggling with confusing platforms, she tells her AI agent, “Set up a website for me to host yoga classes.”

 

The AI handles everything.

 

It integrates Stripe for payments, Zoom for live classes, scheduling services for in-person classes, and a chat module for inquiries.

 

It even suggests templates.

 

When the instructor picks one and asks for a purple and white color scheme, the AI updates it instantly.

 

No coding. No frustration. Just results.

 

And the best part? She didn’t have to touch a single screen or key.

 

This is the future Wilson describes in Age of Invisible Machines.

 

And, as mentioned, it’s powered by three core technologies:

 

Conversational User Interfaces (CUIs): Say what you need; the system handles it. From building websites to booking flights, it’s fast and human-like.

 

Composable Architecture: Traditional business solutions become “modules”. Like LEGO bricks, modular tools—payments, chats, scheduling—snap together to create custom solutions without starting from scratch.

 

No-Code Programming: AI agents code for you, empowering anyone to create without needing a developer.

It’s not just a better way to interact with technology…

 

It’s a complete reimagining of how industries operate.

 

As Harvard Business School’s Marco Iansiti says, “This isn’t disruption—it’s a fundamental shift in production and interaction.”

 

And, the thing is…

 

It’s not just possible. It’s already happening.

 

Early examples are already here. – Chris Campbell, AltucherConfidential
