After the Browser: AI Assistants as the New Gateway to Digital Services

Talk at WordCamp Asia 2025

The talk describes a shift from browsers as the primary gateway to the web toward AI assistants and large language models as conversational intermediaries. Schlesser explores implications for WordPress publishers, including how content may need to serve both human readers and AI agents, changes in discovery and consumption, structured data, and maintaining authenticity and attribution on the open web.
