Agent Experience: Building an Open Web for the AI Era

In this episode of AI + a16z, Netlify CEO and Cofounder Matt Biilmann joins a16z General Partner Martin Casado to explore how AI is reshaping web development — not just through faster code generation, but by fundamentally shifting how we think about building for the web. At the center of this shift is Agent Experience (AX), a new paradigm where AI agents aren’t just tools, but active participants in development, shaping both the creative process and the underlying infrastructure.

Matt shares how Netlify is evolving to meet this future, why the next 100 million web developers will collaborate with AI, and what’s at stake if the web doesn’t adapt — will we see a thriving, open, AI-powered internet, or a future dominated by walled gardens?
