# @signulll: Agents make much of legacy software's workflows obsolete, like TurboT

Source: https://x.com/signulll/status/2107931540084728177

one thing you start to realize as agents get insanely good is just how much of legacy software is basically workflow theater.

there are so many legacy workflows that only exist because software historically couldn’t understand intent, gather context, make decisions, or take action for you. agents do not have this problem whatsoever, in fact they are designed to these exact things.

e.g. take intuit & turbotax. nobody ever wanted to do taxes like that. most ppl want to hand over everything that happened financially that year & have the correct return filed.

a lot of software like this is absolutely cooked. turbo tax is so fucking screwed that they will have to increase lobbying to even more record levels to continue the nonsense. get ready for bills like no ai in tax filing etc. these guys know they’re cooked, it’s just a matter of months now. maybe even less.
