Would you consider computer viruses as limited agents trying to appear as identical (superficially) as the unaltered system as possible?
Also note that the actual change between the original system and the altered system can be arbitrarily small though the change in behavior can be extremely large. Consider for example the Ken Thompson hack or the recent single gate security attack.
I guess what you are missing is the agentyness or intelligence. But consider that already now Android comes with ‘assistants’ that make recommendations and that soon may cooperate with other such agents to arrange for appointments, flights and such.

Not looking for exactly this, but somewhat related.
