AI agents are not a new concept but rather the latest rebranding of long-standing API and web automation work. The infrastructure for machine-readable data, hypermedia, semantic web standards, and automated agent interactions has existed for over a decade. What's being marketed as revolutionary "agentic" technology is actually established API economy practices being repackaged with new terminology by investors seeking the next financialization wave. The real work involves continuing to build machine-readable standards and APIs that serve both human and automated consumers, regardless of current hype cycles.

Agents. It Is All APIs. Nothing Has Changed

It’s great unintentional comedy that the most basic AI agent would have caught this syntax error in your 1,040-word piece about being the foremost expert on machine-readable formats since 2010. Might wanna fix that before Obama sees it.

The AI part about it is new. Before the new AI wave, there was barely anything, that could accept arbitrarily worded input.

In the past, machines could only process structured data. AI agents, however, can also understand and work with unstructured data. That’s why the term “AP API” feels more intuitive.

It’s just asynchronous but with a framework to handle those “agentic” architecture
