What this session covers

AI agents are becoming heavy users of developer tools: reading documentation, operating platforms, writing and shipping code. Tools designed around human attention - interfaces, docs, onboarding - behave differently when the one using them is software. Companies across the stack now serve humans and machines at once, and the choices go to the core of the product. What changes when agents become users, and what it means for the people building with them.
