In 2024, the key to success was “writing good prompts.” 2025 was the era of running multiple AI agents in parallel. And in June 2026, another evolution will occur in how we interact with AI.
Recently, the term “loop” has become quite a hot topic in the AI community.
The whole thing started with a post by Peter, the creator of OpenClaw.
In the world of AI agents, the term Loop Engineering is suddenly gaining attention.
Humans would enter prompts each time, read the results, and then enter the next prompt. In most cases of AI utilization up until now, humans were trapped in a loop.
AI was the worker.
Humans were the directors, supervisors, and inspectors.
This is where Loop Engineering reversed the situation.
Instead of a human having to enter prompts each time, the task is assigned to the AI, executed, the results are reviewed, and if it’s not finished yet, it’s executed again. This entire iterative process is designed as a system.
In other words, humans will shift from being “people who type prompts” to “people who create systems for typing prompts.”
