Most SaaS products were built for humans. They have web dashboards, OAuth flows, and documentation written for people who can read slowly and click carefully. AI agents cannot use any of that well. They need machine-readable APIs, MCPs, and CLIs with thorough, structured documentation. They need to discover what a tool does, sign up, and start using it without a human holding their hand.

YC is explicitly asking for this. The gap is wide because most existing APIs were designed with human developers as the consumer. The starting point is to pick one high-value category where agents are already being deployed (legal, finance, healthcare records) and build the API layer that lets agents operate there reliably. Compliance and access control are the hard parts worth solving.
