Feeding Cleaner Data to Your AI Agents

The author notes that many AI agents waste tokens parsing HTML or Markdown. ZooData solves this by directly converting an Amazon link into clean JSON and MD files.
They provide a comparison: raw data takes about 7,900 tokens, the JSON version drops to 4,000 tokens, and the Markdown version to 3,400 tokens. The takeaway is that optimizing AI agent costs goes beyond just the model—it relies heavily on whether the input data is clean and well-structured.
