API Evangelist: AI Agents Won't Magically Understand Your Business Logic
rseroter · x · 2026-08-11
Writing for API Evangelist, Kin Lane points out an industry fantasy that AI has dissolved the hard parts of API integration—the idea that you can just point an agent at your systems and it will figure out the endpoints, infer business logic, and reconcile inconsistent naming.
The author emphasizes that AI models do not magically understand poor API design any better than humans do. In the age of AI, clear and standardized API design matters more than ever.
