Software Ate the Interfaces. Now It's Eating the Work

For the last 15 years software mainly improved interfaces (apps, websites, EHR systems). The actual work behind them stayed human.

AI changes that. Agent loops are now executing real workflows: handling customer support calls, processing insurance claims, debugging code, and more. These are no longer just tools assisting humans. They are doing the work.

This shift is dramatically increasing inference demand as complex multi-step tasks consume hundreds of thousands to millions of tokens per workflow.

Useful for founders, leaders, AI builders, investors and anyone tracking the real impact of AI on work and the economy.
