​Over the last couple of years, AI has transformed how we do work online. In this talk, we’ll explore how humans and AI use the web to accomplish tasks, from personal workflows to complex business operations on behalf of other users. We’ll cover what’s possible today and where things are headed in 2026 and beyond.

Danny is a New Jersey native, and founding team member at Kernel (kernel.sh). Kernel is building browser infrastructure, so AI agents can access the internet. Previously, Danny worked at Afterpay and then Cash App, working with their largest merchants' technical teams to integrate Pay Now and Pay Later payment methods at checkout. Follow Danny on Linked.
