Indie author builds an agent-native distribution layer for his novel with A2A endpoints
patternflow · reddit · 2026-09-03
An indie author built an agent-facing distribution layer for his novel Cassie Hour: an Agent Card, a discovery endpoint, an A2A endpoint, and a vector store with novel material, usage rules, ISBN data and related media — so personal agents can discover and represent the book machine-readably. His thesis: distribution shifts from platform→audience to creator agent→personal agent→human. He asks what to build next: agent memory profiles, recommendation protocols, machine-readable world models, agent-to-agent referrals, portable reader reputation signals.
