Designing APIs for the era of AI Agents

Description

Michelle Bu, Head of API Design and Developer Experience at Stripe joins James to discuss the explosive growth of AI agents within the Stripe ecosystem. Michelle explains how the rise of "coding agents" led to a spike in CLI usage and the subsequent need for new security features like Agent API Keys. She also dives into the challenges of agents relying on outdated training data, Stripe’s "experimental mindset" toward documentation, and how internal tools like "Minions" are making software development more collaborative and productive than ever before.
