AI agents lack a native API-first interface for application control
Current agent frameworks rely on GUI or CLI interfaces designed for humans, creating friction when AI agents need to take actions within applications. An API-native runtime would let agents interact with application logic directly without browser or shell emulation. This is an early-stage Show HN product targeting the gap.

The Web Is Built for Human Fingers, Not AI Agents
AI agents capable of autonomous work are blocked at every turn by human-centric web infrastructure: CAPTCHAs, browser-rendered UIs, 2FA flows, and modal-heavy signup gates that assume a human is present. This is a structural gap between agentic AI capability and the web stack it must operate on, creating a compounding bottleneck as agent usage scales.
