The AI Agent Economy Is Here

The podcast explores the impact of AI agents on software development and the broader economy. It highlights the shift from developers choosing tools to AI agents making those decisions, influencing the go-to-market strategies for dev tools. The discussion points to the increasing importance of agent-friendly documentation, exemplified by Resend's success due to its well-structured, code-snippet-rich documentation that is easily parsed by LLMs. The panelists also consider the rise of "agent money" and a parallel agent economy, alongside the challenges of AI agents in legal and social contexts, such as the need for human oversight and the slow acceptance of relationships with AI. MoltBook is mentioned as an example of swarm intelligence.
