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.
