Readit Newsbobfunk commented on Introducing AX: Why Agent Experience Matters biilmann.blog/articles/in... · Posted by u/tbarn
The idea of treating AI agents as a distinct persona, similar to users or developers, is spot on. We really have to think about how they experience our software, this is essential for building effective systems that actually work for both humans and agents.
That being said I think the emphasis on APIs might be wrong in the long term. I think having an intake agent sitting on a side channel apart from HTTP/HTML on your product waiting to interact with external agents might be a better analogy. Maybe using just a mix of free text and fixed schemas with access to the product tools, who knows. Really excited to see developments on this area.
Yeah interestingly API's in their current form are rarely very good for agents. In many cases tools like Operator using a virtual browser and screenshotting are better for agent interactions than API specs.
This shows we need to build better approaches to agent interactions that are not at the level of "run a virtual browser", but that encodes much more of the workflows available than raw API's do today.
Not clear what's new about this or why it keeps getting posted, then saw this:
Netlify is forcing Starter team plan users to move to the new Free Plan
No, we're moving starter teams with no credit card on file to the free plan. Wan't to stay on starter plan and get billed for overages instead? Just add a credit card.
You choose the behavior that fits your usecase:
Free plan: no accidental bills, but your site may be suspended if you go over the limits. Starter plan: free as long as you stay under the limits, but you'll get billed for overages.

the purpose of the game was to force marketing upon the players. a speed run version would defeat the dwell time of the marketing on the screen. i'm sure the marketing department would not be a fan
For what it's worth our head of marketing was the one asking for a speedrun mode, but it just couldn't make the cut in terms of scope :)

Netlify CEO here.
I spotted Little Workshop when I saw https://equinox.space/ on Hacker News and noticed it was running on Netlify. Loved the fluidness, speed and art direction of a game running directly in the browser and working smoothly on my phone.
Immediately thought of them when we started thinking about a 5 million developer celebration and reached out. Love the result :)
We received an email yesterday saying the "100% discount is expiring on June 14".
We're using them for deploy previews. Does anyone have recommendations on alternatives?
Netlify CEO here.
We've had a few open source plan since the early days and it's not going anywhere.

There are only two questions everyone have:
1. Would Netlify forgive the bill if this didn't go viral?
2. How do you plan to address this issue so that it never happens again?
Everyone here knew someone from Netlify would come and say OP wouldn't have to pay. That was a given. Now we want to know the important answers.
1. Yes. We've forgiven lots and lots of bills over the last 9 years and they haven't gone viral
2. While I've always favored erring towards keeping people's sites up we are currently working on changing the default behavior to never let free sites incur overages
But, parsing documentation? And, believing it blindly? hah. Maybe ressurect Semantic web as well..
This shows we need to build better approaches to agent interactions that are not at the level of "run a virtual browser", but that encodes much more of the workflows available than raw API's do today.
