Anthropic staffer's startup tip: build things that save agents tokens

- Anthropic employee Jeff Weinstein amplified and endorsed a suggestion: "make something that saves agents tokens."
- The quoted context: users say they'd pay for services that cut token costs, since bots like Grok burn tokens scraping sites repeatedly for the same information.
- The implied opportunity is an agent-facing caching/dedup/summarization layer — avoiding redundant scraping — framed as a new infrastructure-style side-project direction for the agent era.
