AI agents drive expansion of software ecosystems built for AI, not humans

As AI agents spread, software designed for use by AI rather than people is expanding. Companies are moving toward headless software that lets agents access core functions through APIs and MCP without a user interface. Approaches differ, with Salesforce and ServiceNow opening platforms to third-party agents while SAP focuses on its own. The shift is emerging as a variable in enterprise software competition, alongside growing demand for forward-deployed engineers supporting AI adoption.

SAP blocks external AI agent access to platform while Salesforce, ServiceNow open up

SAP presented its \"Autonomous Enterprise\" vision at its Sapphire 2026 event, centring on AI agents but taking a different approach from Salesforce and ServiceNow. Techzine reported SAP blocks external AI agents and routes activity through its Joule assistant. An updated API policy explicitly bans AI systems from independently scheduling or executing API calls. SAP executives defended the policy as governance for a multi-tenant platform.

Former Ripple CTO says XRP return was higher than bitcoin and ethereum

David Schwartz, former chief technology officer at Ripple, said XRP generated his biggest cryptocurrency gains. He said he once held 26 million XRP, about 1,000 bitcoin and 40,000 ether, but later sharply reduced all three positions. Schwartz said his cumulative return was still highest on XRP, helped by early holdings he sold gradually over years. He also said he sold ether at about $1.05 each and cut bitcoin holdings to below 1 well before it reached $100,000.
