Microsoft: Apps => Agents

Microsoft CEO made a prediction in a keynote in France
that 5 years from now we will mostly be interacting with intelligent Agents instead of Apps.
Very insightful!

The GUI of Apps is already interacting with APIs, both internal and external.
APIs could are structured in such a way that GUI could be replaced with other ways of communication, including speech and UI dynamically generated based on API "metadata"
