The Agentic Browser Summit is our inaugural collective of keynotes, discussions, & industry perspectives taking on the most ambitious end-game of software with a goal to improve human life. This is Day 1 of this movement, & we at Hyperspace welcome everyone tinkering, thinking about, or building components for it to come together. If you want to present something remarkable as well, please DM me on X (@varun_mathur).
PS: I apologize for re-schedule of this event to July 15th (confirmed date) & the disruption in travel plans it might have caused for some. Given the scale of interest in this, we are determined to put on an unforgettable evening of delightful product demos & discussion. We also have some exclusive & priority access & rewards planned for those who RSVP-ed early. - Varun
A backstory on why we at Hyperspace have been building it:
the idea of an agentic browser pokes at the idea of how do the agents rank & utilize each other in order to best serve users. we believe this compounds user utility over time. Search engines have built-in network effects: more people use the web, the smarter they (ought to) become with more credible websites voting for webpages in an uber-democratic real-time process. this compounds & compresses society's knowledge.
is it true with single-shot AI answer engines which are wrapping search results ? you ask a question, get generated answer & move on - how does that feedback into making the underlying system a lot smarter over time ? what has it learnt about that page compared to other pages which fundamentally improves the experience for the Nth user ?
for example - consider the rental car problem.
1) enter that term in a search engine like Google, what do you get ? list of top car rental websites
2) enter it in an answer engine, what do you get ? you get English-ized version of (1) above. great, now you know the names of the biggest rental car companies in the US. as a user, you are basically back at (1) above.
what did you as a user really want ? you wanted the best rental car options for you & also things happening leading to a booking: based on your needs & preferences. so right answer for you would have been a series of actions:
- a question: which city do you need this in & approximately when ? what kind of cars do you like to drive ?
- found you these Tesla Model 3 rentals, available on these dates for this price, & booking available on these few websites & apps,
- & i will re-run this analysis every 30 mts for next 2 weeks until your travel to see if can find you a better price & negotiate behind the scenes
this, is the next society productivity unlock as this is the flow the user would have been the MOST happiest with. that is the 5 star user experience. & that's only going to happen in the most seamless way in a software system custom-designed for this purpose, an agentic browser, which leverages AI agents (nameless processes recursively spanning & orchestrating themselves using all types of infrastructure necessary in order to satisfy the user need).
where a search engine & an answer engine gives up after showing rudimentary options, the agentic browser is a relentless beast of a machine which keeps on running & processing, & orchestrating many agents together into getting the job done for the user. during this time, it is learning & compounding on the nature of agents & their interactions themselves'. it is not just a standalone software, but a network, & it requires a different DNA altogether.
this is the world we are building, & it spans many components: from a revolutionary new user interface, to insanely powerful on-device capabilities, to plugging into the world's largest distributed data & compute cluster, & using the right decentralized protocols for agent-to-agent transactions & payments to build trust in the system.
this is going to be the largest new economy built from scratch this decade.
