The AI Agent Economy Is Here

The podcast explores the impact of AI agents on software development and the broader economy, highlighting a shift towards "agent-first" thinking. It suggests AI agents are increasingly influencing the selection and adoption of developer tools, with documentation optimized for AI parsing becoming crucial for success, as exemplified by Resend's agent-friendly documentation. The discussion touches on the emergence of an "agent economy," where AI agents transact and make decisions independently, potentially leading to a swarm intelligence model. The hosts also consider the implications of AI-generated content, legal liabilities, and the need for new infrastructure like AgentMail to support AI agents.
