The Prompt is the Platform - Dominik Tornow, Resonate HQ
Coding agents will make general-purpose platforms obsolete by generating bespoke implementations from specifications on demand.
“The product is no longer the implementation. The product is the specification, the protocol.”
Resonate CEO Dominik Tornow argues that in 2026 coding agents will retire general-purpose software platforms, replacing reusable implementations with bespoke ones generated on demand from a shared specification. This shifts a company's value from implementation to specification/protocol, with reuse moving upstream and agents participating in specifying systems—not just building or verifying them—signaling a structural change in how software infrastructure is built and monetized.
