Abstract
Service design’s foundational premise is that value is co-created
in the moment between person and provider. Agentic services
break this model. Value is triangulated over time, through
accumulated signals about preferences and circumstances.
The proposition itself becomes emergent. Service design
students must learn to design for trajectories, not transactions.
