What you'll learn
Why your product is hard for agents to use
Agents are smart but they also seek the quickest cheapest path to an outcome. We'll show you where they fail.
Four things agents want and one they don't
Ideally you'll have one or more ways for agents to use tools and not have to scrape pages. We'll show what to use when.
How to check if your APIs are usable by agents
We'll show you how to come up with a list of prompts and desired/undesired outcomes so you can test your own product.
The top changes to make your APIs friendlier to agents
You'll take away a high-level plan and a 12-point checklist so you can get started towards agent-friendly API products.
Why this topic matters
Software has transitioned from clicks and taps to chatting with AI. There is another major change coming: people will start delegating tasks they want done to agents. Agents want outcomes, and the products that win will be the ones that give them the easiest path to those outcomes. In this session, you'll learn how agents use APIs and what stops them in their tracks, so you can fix them.
