Why Don't You Need a Website Anymore in 2026?
You don't need a website anymore because AI agents will find services directly. You need an AI endpoint: a media company on your own domain that AI can connect with.

You don't need a website anymore because AI agents will find services directly. You need an AI endpoint: a media company on your own domain that AI can connect with.
Websites are dead because they were built for humans to manually find information. AI agents will soon find services and products directly, making a static website obsolete.
Paul Veth puts it directly: if you still think you need a new website, you are thinking like it's still 2010. A website used to exist for one reason only, so a human could find contact information, read a blog article, or locate a service or product. That job is disappearing. In a few years, AI agents will find the services and products themselves. Paul Veth argues that once AI agents can transact directly on a domain, the traditional website loses its function entirely. What replaces it is not nothing, it's an AI endpoint, a place where AI connects instead of a human clicking through pages.
Paul Veth compares carrying hundreds of vinyl records as a DJ to how businesses carry unnecessary tools and noise today. AI now compresses that noise the way digital files replaced records.
Paul Veth used to be a house DJ, carrying vinyl records to every gig. He owned the first pressing of Tiesto's Traffic, a single song on a single record. Playing a six-hour set meant bringing at least 100 records, sometimes 400 or 500 records in total, just to cover all the songs he might need. Then CDs came, and one record bag replaced hundreds of records. Then digital came: a USB stick, an SD card, a wallet and a headphone, that's it. Paul Veth uses this evolution to explain what AI is now doing to businesses. A lot of businesses carry so much noise inside them, noise that was needed for delivery, for improving the product or service, for sales, for maintaining everything. That noise had to be handled by people and systems. Now AI handles it.
AI can help a company grow faster with the same team, or replace people entirely. Paul Veth says this is a choice every entrepreneur has to make deliberately.
Paul Veth believes AI can help a company grow faster while keeping the same number of people. You can also do the opposite and use AI to replace people entirely. It's your choice as an entrepreneur. Paul Veth chooses growth always, because he likes people and he likes growth, so for him the choice is easy. This same logic applies to what happens with websites. Instead of eliminating the need for a human presence online, AI eliminates the noise around that presence: separate podcast hosting, separate email automation, separate course builders, all scattered around a single website.
A media company on your own domain is a single hub where AI reforms your original content into courses, emails, social posts and podcasts, all in your own voice.
Paul Veth doesn't believe in AI-generated content or AI-generated businesses. What he means is that businesses have to start from one seed, and for now that seed is human. Later on, AI can think of businesses and eliminate a lot of noise in the world, but today Paul Veth believes in founder-led companies where the vision and mission are still truly alive from the core of the business. Once that seed is fed weekly into the system, the media company is born. From that process, AI reforms all the content into courses, emails, social posts and podcasts, but it's still the voice of the person who recorded the video, whether that's the founder, a co-founder, or someone from the team.
Trust is built by listening to a real person, then talking, then meeting. Paul Veth argues AI removes the noise around that process, not the human connection itself.
Paul Veth explains that media is the only thing that can connect you without calling, video calling, or shaking another human's hand. Just like what he does on camera to say: hi, I'm Paul. When there's a human on the other side of the camera, trust can be built. Trust is built by listening, then by a phone call, then by seeing each other, then by an actual handshake or hug. That's how relationships are formed. Paul Veth believes AI gets rid of the robotic parts of us humans. The robots are taking the robot out of us humans, so what's left is the pure, raw human we are, and from that point people can start to connect.
Delivery of the product or service, and after-sales relationship building, still require human connection. AI speeds up how fast people reach each other, not the connection itself.
Paul Veth is clear that a media company on your own domain is not the only thing a business needs. Delivery of the service or product still matters, and so does after-sales and relationship building. A lot of that process can be supported by AI, but only to make the human-to-human connection easier and faster. AI doesn't replace the connection, it brings people to each other faster. There's simply more time to connect once the noise is gone. That's the entire argument for why you don't need a website anymore, you need a media company on your own domain.
No, Paul Veth is not saying you stop using your domain. He's saying you put something different on it: a media company instead of a static website. Your domain stays, but what sits on it changes from a page built for humans to click through, into an AI endpoint and content hub that AI can connect with directly.
An AI endpoint is a domain built so AI agents can find and eventually transact with your services or products directly, without a human clicking through a traditional website. Paul Veth says AI agents doing this at scale isn't fully here yet, but it's coming fast, and businesses need to prepare their domain for that shift now.
In Paul Veth's model, a founder records original content weekly, and AI reforms that same material into courses, emails, social posts and podcasts. It's not generating new content from nothing, it's reshaping what the founder already created, so the voice and vision stay authentic while the output multiplies across formats.
Paul Veth used to DJ with vinyl records, carrying hundreds of records to cover a six-hour set before CDs and later digital files replaced that burden with a single USB stick. He uses this to show how AI is now doing to business tools and websites what digital did to music: stripping away unnecessary weight and noise.
No, Paul Veth argues AI removes the robotic noise around business processes, not human connection itself. Trust is still built by listening to a real person, having a conversation, and eventually meeting. AI simply speeds up how fast two people get to that point, by clearing away the operational noise in between.
Paul makes a sharp claim here: websites are dead, and what you actually need is an AI endpoint on your own domain. Where are you in that shift right now, still running a traditional site, already experimenting with something different, or somewhere in between?
