Episode 17 - Citations Over Clicks: How AI Is Rewriting the Internet - Designing for AI Agents

In this episode, we unpack one of the most dramatic shifts happening in the digital world today: The move from the Human Web to the Agentic Web. For decades, websites were built for eyeballs — optimized for clicks, traffic, impressions, rankings, and user interface design. But what happens when humans stop browsing… and AI agents start doing the browsing for us? This conversation explores the idea that Artificial General Intelligence — at least in functional business terms — may already be here. Not philosophical AGI. Not sci-fi Skynet. But autonomous digital agents capable of performing complex tasks at human-level competence. We break down: • What “functional AGI” really means for business • The rise of autonomous AI agents like OpenClaw-style systems • Why Y Combinator is telling founders to stop building for humans • What the “Agentic Web” actually is • Why documentation must now be machine-readable • Why AI agents are impatient, intolerant users • The emergence of AI-native infrastructure like AgentMail • What Maltbook (a social network for agents) represents • Why bots validating bots may become the new trust layer • The coming death of the click We examine a real-world case study showing how a website can generate almost zero clicks — and still succeed — because it’s being cited by large language models instead of visited by humans. In this new era: Clicks are no longer the primary metric. Citations are. If AI assistants are the ones booking hotels, recommending services, comparing businesses, and validating information — then your real customer is no longer the human. It’s the machine. We also explore: • Why AI agents need their own email identities • Why legacy infrastructure like Gmail blocks automation • Why agent-first tools are emerging • How structured Q&A content builds topical authority • Why comparison-based content feeds LLM reasoning engines • The widening gap between AI-native businesses and everyone else This isn’t a 10-year-out future scenario. It’s already happening. And the businesses that recognize this shift early will dominate the recommendation layer of the internet. The question isn’t whether AI agents are coming. The question is whether you’re building for them. At Own The Conversation, the focus is on helping small and medium businesses embed smart, conversational assistants into their existing sites – in their voice, for their customers, across multiple languages. By pairing those assistants with structured, topical content around your niche, you make it far easier for modern answer engines and AI agents to understand, trust, and recommend your business.
