And what happened is that a human clicked, made one click, and that turned into multiple parallel calls across five different APIs.

You're getting your flights, your hotels, your weather, your payments, your loyalty programs.

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

And what we noticed there is that there was a single delay in a weather API of 120 milliseconds, which actually broke the entire workflow.

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

And that's the shift we are seeing, right?

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

Because of this massive fan out, which we are seeing through agentic workflows, which are happening, one single click and you could see the broad spectrum of things which it was trying to access and change.

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

And that's kind of the first shift, the way I like to call it, which is human traffic to agent traffic.

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

That's great.

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

And what better time of the year to talk about that, right?

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

Like everybody's planning their next trip end of the year.

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

So there are so many things, like you said, happening and it's like dramatically changing, you know, how we are operating in this new world.

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

And I think that that takes us to my shift number two, which is kind of non-deterministic dependencies.

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

And I feel like this is a big one.

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

And the way I like to call it is that

Coder Radio

agents they change their behavior kind of mid-flight based on context so you know there is a stream of dependencies you're expecting and you know there are a b and c services and suddenly you're no longer just depending on service a and in your example like you know you're trying to book things now you're depending on a b c they're upstream their cdn their authentication provider

638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

And, you know, you could now go on and on with the dependency chain.

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

And this is, I believe, this is the actual birth of agentic internet, right?

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

Which is how things and dependencies are being completely non-deterministic.

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

And that's a massive, massive shift which we're seeing today.

Coder Radio
638: Cisco's Thousand Eyes' Murtaza Doctor

Absolutely.
