Summary
In this chapter, we explored the phenomenon of machine users and how they are transforming the digital landscape. We learned to adapt the web development paradigm to cater to these new customers and covered topics such as decoding the machine user, market opportunities and scenarios, and architecting for AI integration.
We developed skills to understand and profile the machine user, create strategic scenarios, architect data sources and API platforms for the machine user, and evaluate market opportunities presented by Internet-of-Things-enabled products. Finally, we honed the skill of thinking strategically about the future and positioning businesses to thrive in the age of the machine user.
In the next chapter, we will embark on a journey into the future of software engineering with AI-augmented development.
