Agent-native Systems
definition
Agent-native systems are systems designed with agents as first-class operational units, rather than agents being retrofitted into traditional workflows.
Why It Matters
Agent-native design changes how work is decomposed, observed, reviewed, and improved. The agent is not a chatbot beside a workflow; it becomes part of the operating model.
