Episode notes
Products For Hybrid AI-Human Consumers
- We are entering an era where products must serve hybrid consumers: humans plus agentic AIs.
- Agentic AI blends human reasoning with machine speed and requires new interface thinking.
Agents Don’t Follow Rigid API Contracts
- Agentic systems explore and try multiple approaches rather than follow strict API contracts.
- This exploratory behavior makes consumption less predictable than traditional machine clients.
Expose Flexible Interfaces (Try MCP)
- Consider APIs plus flexible wrappers like MCP to make platforms accessible to LLM agents.
- Experiment with Model Context Protocol ideas to enable agentic integration safely.
