Software is changing before our eyes, but few have noticed. This isn’t incremental evolution. It’s a paradigm shift redefining how we interact with technology.
We’re moving from interfaces that forget to systems that remember. From passive tools to active collaborators. From UX (User Experience) to AX (Agentic Experience).
And for marketers, this change isn’t just technical. It’s strategic.
The Amnesia of Traditional Software
Open your favorite email marketing tool. Every time it’s like meeting a stranger. You have to explain who you are, what you want to do, what your preferences are. You fill out forms, select dropdowns, repeat the same steps.
Traditional software treats every interaction as an isolated event. No memory of what happened before. No understanding of your ongoing projects or evolving goals. Just a blank slate, every single time.
The problem is evident in marketing: every campaign requires resetting everything from scratch. Every piece of content is created as if it were the first. Every analysis starts from a blank page.
This made sense when computers were dumb and memory was expensive. Today, it’s becoming obviously wrong.
UX vs AX: Two Philosophies Compared
Traditional UX: The Era of Screens
Classic User Experience is screen-centric:
- You tap a button, product reacts, job done
- Every session starts from zero
- Designers pre-plan every possible path
- Users fill out forms because the system remembers nothing
- Success = fewer clicks, faster flows
- Trust = “interface looks clean so it must work”
Agentic Experience: The Era of Relationships
AX is relationship-centric:
- The agent keeps track of ongoing goals
- Suggests next steps based on shared history
- Improves over time through interaction
- You’re never starting over
- The system plans its own path autonomously
- Infers from context instead of constantly asking
- Remembers preferences, patterns, even team dynamics
- Success = earned trust and compounding value
The Trust Gradient: How Trust Is Built
With traditional tools, trust is binary – either the software works or it doesn’t. With agents, trust builds gradually through successful collaboration.
Early in the relationship, the system shows its work extensively. It explains why it’s making certain recommendations, asks for confirmation, makes its decision-making process transparent. You can see exactly what it’s “thinking” and correct it when it’s wrong.
As the relationship develops, you gradually hand over more autonomy. The agent starts making more decisions independently, requires less explanation for routine actions, takes initiative on tasks you haven’t explicitly requested.
It mirrors how trust develops in human relationships. You start with small responsibilities and gradually increase authority as reliability is proven.
The New Design Paradigm: Context as Competitive Advantage
Agentic software creates a powerful network effect through context accumulation.
The more you use it, the more valuable it becomes – not because of features, but because of understanding. As Greg Isenberg notes in “The End of Interfaces”: “The value is in the accumulated understanding that the system has developed about how you work and not just features anymore.”
This shift demands a new approach to design.
We’re moving from crafting screens to orchestrating behaviors. Jakob Nielsen calls this “agent choreography” – instead of wireframes, we’re creating systems that govern how AI behaves, escalates decisions, and builds trust.
For marketers, this means systems that learn your tone of voice, understand your strategy, and optimize workflows based on real patterns – creating switching costs that go far beyond losing a few templates or settings.
Marketing in the Age of AX
For marketing teams, this shift represents an unprecedented opportunity. Instead of managing fragmented tools that don’t talk to each other, imagine:
- Agents that collaborate like a real team, exchanging information and coordinating tasks
- A shared knowledge base that maintains brand consistency across all channels
- Automations that learn what works for your specific audience
- Systems that anticipate your needs instead of waiting for commands
But there’s a fundamental condition: the user must remain in control.
The Future is Relationship-Centric (But Human-Controlled)
Companies that understand agentic experience first will have an enormous advantage. Users who experience true AI partnership can’t go back to “dumb” tools.
The shift is already happening. New AI products are moving from chat interfaces to autonomous agents that can plan, execute, and learn. For marketers, this means finally being able to separate strategic vision from operational execution.
At Fylle, we’re building a relationship-centric system where the user maintains strategic control while AI manages tactical execution.
Not a tool waiting for instructions, but a virtual team that:
- Learns your brand’s DNA from day one
- Actively collaborates between specialized agents
- Integrates into your existing flows without disrupting them
- Continuously improves based on interactions
The Post-Interface Era is Already Here
The shift from UX to AX isn’t a future possibility. It’s happening now. We’re witnessing the emergence of AI agents that will fundamentally change how we interact with digital services.
For marketing, this means maintaining creative control while delegating production. Scaling without losing consistency. Building systems that get better over time, not just faster.
The question isn’t whether this will change how we do marketing. The question is: will you be among the first to ride this wave or will you be overwhelmed by it?
At Fylle, we’ve chosen to lead this change. Because we believe the future of marketing isn’t in blind automation, but in intelligent collaboration between humans and AI.
A future where the best technology disappears into the background, becoming simply part of how you work. Where your marketing vision meets AI execution, seamlessly.
