Everyone’s talking about “AI replacing developers.” But agents can’t run without APIs. So who really owns the future: the agent… or the API?

Not every problem needs a bigger model. Sometimes the answer is smarter orchestration. Who else feels this?

👀 UX is observable. AX is invisible. When users struggle, we see it. When agents struggle, we don’t, not until systems fail at least. How do we even measure “Agent Experience”?

How do you get APIs, data streams, and workflows to actually play nice together? 👀

🔥 The GenAI era won’t be defined by prompts. It’ll be defined by standards. Who sets them, who ignores them, and who breaks them. That’s what we’re hearing at our conferences.

🌍 Enterprises don’t care about “human-like answers.” They care about compliance, routing costs, and uptime SLAs. That’s where GenAI gets real. True or false?

🔍 “Trustworthy AI” doesn’t start with philosophy. It starts with logs, metrics, and guardrails. You can’t govern what you can’t observe.

⚡ GenAI isn’t about replacing APIs. It’s about evolving them. REST, GraphQL, gRPC… none are dead. The future is unifying them into systems that can actually scale.

AI is drafting docs, specs & test cases, but not yet tackling compliance, throttling, or traffic analysis. Why? 1️⃣ False positives are risky 2️⃣ Complex tasks need deep context 3️⃣ Tools are still immature The real API+AI leap is yet to come. Agree?

🧑‍💻 The shift from developers to agents requires not new models, but foundations built with agents in mind: trust, resilience, identity, and lifecycle orchestration.

AI APIs still feel like the Wild West. @ikennanwaiwu speaks about the importance of gateways + governance ▶️

What’s the biggest blocker to sustainable AI?

"AI agents aren’t science fiction, they’re dominant API consumers now." That’s straight from voices at recent apidays conversations, and it begs the question: is your API strategy ready for autonomous clients?

GenerationAI London is happening next week, Sep 23! From AI-augmented engineers to RAG guardrails & API product strategy. 📅 Agenda + tickets:

“Over 40% of ‘agentic AI’ projects will be scrapped by 2027.” @Gartner recently flagged ‘agent washing’ marketing calling bots when there’s no autonomy or API orchestration behind it. Read more 🔗

Who will define the future of AX?

🤔 AI agents are already upselling, scheduling, even handling support. Next step? Negotiating deals. Would you trust an AI agent to negotiate a contract on your behalf?

UX is no longer enough❗ The future is UX + AX: interface intuition meets prompt engineering, agent orchestration, and identity governance. More on this 23 Sept at #GenerationAILondon. 🇬🇧 Use code AXUX and get 25% off your ticket 🎟️
