About this site

Agentic Web News is an independent publication tracking how AI agents are changing the web.

It covers the companies, protocols, products, standards and market signals shaping the emerging agentic web — from AI search and agent-readable websites to MCP, identity, discovery, media adaptation and new forms of agent-facing infrastructure.

The site is written and edited by Richard MacManus, founder of ReadWriteWeb and an independent analyst focused on the agentic web. During the Web 2.0 era, ReadWriteWeb tracked the rise of blogs, social platforms, APIs, cloud services and web-native business models. Agentic Web News applies a similar analytical lens to the next structural shift in the web.

The focus is not news aggregation. It is analysis: what matters, why it matters, and what builders, publishers, product leaders and strategists should watch next.

Agentic Web News combines weekly market analysis with interviews, profiles and commentary on the people and organizations building this new layer of the internet: entrepreneurs, developers, standards makers, publishers and platform companies.

The aim is to help readers understand where the agentic web is heading — and how to build, publish and compete in it.
