AI agents can perfectly do a lot of the data entry tasks and build dashboards. You practically need to build none of that when you can ask an AI agent to pull the data and build a chart or provide a file or a paste to insert into a database. Basically that. If the app requires a mouse then it should have UI, if not, unless critical, it can be driven by an agent. That's my point.
