Core Problem with AI Agents - AI Agents relying on scraping websites and inferring meaning from HTML can lead to unpredictable behavior due to DOM shifts and pop-ups [1][2] - Prompt-engineering alone is insufficient for ensuring the reliable operation of AI Agents [2] - Agents require predictable contracts, which APIs provide through clear rules for requests, responses, and failure expression [2] Solution: Standardized API Access and Management - Standardizing API access, exposing APIs to Agents, and maintaining inspectability are crucial for debugging and monitoring [3] - Unified management, testing, and observability of raw API access are necessary to prevent chaos in the backend [3] - Teams building production-grade AI agents are converging on setting up infrastructure for API management [3] Postman's Solution for AI Agents - Postman offers a centralized hub for documenting, versioning, and accessing APIs [4] - Postman's MCP server exposes APIs directly to Agents, enabling them to call APIs without manual wiring [5] - Postman logs every request made by Agents with full history for debugging purposes [5] Key Takeaway - Agents understand interfaces, not intent; explicit interfaces lead to reliable behavior, while implicit interfaces lead to unpredictable behavior [5] - APIs, when built with the right infrastructure, provide the necessary context for AI [6]

If you found it insightful, reshare it with your network.Find me → @_avichawlaEvery day, I share tutorials and insights on DS, ML, LLMs, and RAGs. https://t.co/ocO8UZkuFaAvi Chawla (@_avichawla):Devs often treat Agent context as an access problem.The thinking goes like this:"If there's no API, just scrape the website. And if scraping breaks, let the Agent use the browser like a human."This sounds reasonable until you try to run it in production.To see why, https://t.co/mq7APfuOH6 ...

Core Problem & Solution - Agents struggle with unpredictable behavior due to implicit interfaces derived from HTML and UI, leading to unreliable performance in production [1][2] - The industry needs predictable contracts for Agents, which APIs provide through clear rules for requests, responses, and error handling [2] - Standardizing API access, exposing APIs to Agents, and ensuring inspectability are crucial for debugging and monitoring, preventing chaos in the backend [3] Postman's Solution for AI Agents - Postman offers a centralized hub for documented, versioned, and accessible APIs, replacing ad-hoc API discovery [4] - Postman's MCP server exposes APIs directly to Agents, eliminating the need for custom integration code and manual wiring [5] - Postman logs every Agent request with full history, enabling precise debugging by showing what was sent, what was returned, and where failures occurred [5] Key Takeaway - Agents require explicit interfaces (APIs) for reliable behavior, as they understand interfaces, not intent [5] - APIs, when built with the right infrastructure, provide the necessary context for AI Agents to function effectively [6]

Enterprise AI spend fails to line up with early narrative
CNBC Television· 2025-12-03 20:18
Uh let's do this in today's tech check tech check. Dear Jabosa is here with a look at what this all is really telling us D about the AI agent landscape. >> Yeah because there was a lot of back and forth but the big picture here is that enterprise AI spend it's not lining up with the early narrative.Companies are leaning into model usage but they're moving slower on agents and that context matters as we dig into that Microsoft story. Now they've pushed back on reports that they cut AI quotas but not necessar ...
