Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
So I was listening to this Y Combinator podcast and they're talking about how most startups are going to fail because they're building things that humans want, but also forgetting that you need to build things that AI agent wants. So I'm going to talk about three different ways that you can actually take advantage of this. So that in itself sounds kind of confusing, but essentially what that means is that two-thirds of people are now using AI as a search engine now. So whatever, chatGPT recommends them that's what they're going to use. Now it's gone even further where the AI agents can literally talk to each other on social media and they have hands now with open cloud where they can be executing tasks on behalf of people. So this is what YC is talking about where rather than just asking AI questions now, it can choose spend money on behalf of people make decisions and what does that mean if you're actually trying to build something? So for a little bit of context, my name is Jack, I'm 20 years old. I've built multiple apps, I currently run the largest web coding startup community in the world and I work in a startup that does over 9 million dollars a year in revenue. So point number one is showing up in AI agent searches is becoming a whole new form of marketing on its own. So when someone asked TPT a question and one of those tools gets recommended, those tools are doing significantly better than their competitors. If you ask TPT what database you should be using most of the time it'll say superbase. And the founder of recent said that most of his traffic was coming through TPT searches. basically every single software product has a page on the website called documentation and there's different ways that you can optimize that for an LLM to actually pick. So number two is there's an entire grid going on and building things that an AI agent would need to operate like phone numbers and emails. So for an agent who book a table at a restaurant, it needs a phone number. If it wants to send emails to people and needs its own email address. There is an entire YC startup right now called agent mail, which essentially Gmail blocks bots from accessing email, so if you want an AI agent to run your email, you can really use Gmail and it made an inbox specifically for AI agents. So with the entire internet kind of being built on the base that we're not going to let bots have access to things. There's a whole new infrastructure layer of people building here. But it's becoming so crazy because there's so much opportunity right now. Like go create a currency that only an AI agent could interact with. I don't know. Point number three is try to build something that an AI agent could actually use. The literal open-cloud founder said that everything that your app can do, that a human can do, needs to be able to be done by an AI agent. Slak is doing this really well with the API where an AI agent can come in and pretty much see every single message and send messages. Like AI agents are going to become big users of your app. If you want to learn more about this stuff, join the Discord or school community
