While this paradigm works pretty well in a world where web sites are simple and static, it doesn't do much to help users find the right excerpt from the right database underlying the right dynamically-generated web site. And today, almost all commercially significant and information-rich web sites are dynamically generated from underlying databases. These don't reflect the human tendency to think about one subject from multiple points of view. This will greatly reduce the burden on information users and providers alike. Because these categorization structures are not knowable in advance, these technologies cannot be used as the basis for any sort of productive application development or user interface.
Agents still have to run on a computer somewhere, and that's almost always the user's computer.
