The New Application Layer - Malte Ubl, CTO Vercel
Malte Ubl, CTO of Vercel, posits that AI engineering is the successor to web development, arguing that AI agents will expand, not shrink, the software market. He explores practical agent archetypes being built today and discusses the profound shift required in infrastructure and security as agents become both the builders and primary users of software, concluding that the true innovation and value will lie in the application layer built by AI engineers, independent of the commoditizing foundational models.
