Instinct, Muse are changing the face of how users interact with the web.
A site built for humans makes agents wade through hero images and animations to find a base URL.
So we built a mode toggle into our site. Human is the normal site. Agent is just markdown: API base URL, protocol, and sign-up steps an agent can follow on its own.
This is now a standard for developer docs, it is becoming a standard for AEO, but it will also become a standard for web pages in general.
The way I see the transition:
UX was about getting a person to the value in fewer clicks. AX is about getting an agent there in fewer tokens.
I honestly think the future is AX-only - at least for most non-physical experiences.
But i'm long curl+markdown and short mcp
