So,the api provider, like stripe, is supposed to publish a second API?

And then the "end developer" who is going to be making a chatbot/agent, is supposed to use that to make a chatbot?

Why does the plan involve there being multiple third party developers to make n products per provider? If the plan is to have third parties be creative and combine, say, Stripe with Google Ads, then how is a second API for LLMs useful.

I'm not seeing the vision here. I've seen something similar in a project where a guy wanted LLM developers to use his API for better browsing websites. If your plan involves:

1- Bigger players than you implementing your protocol 2- Everybody else doing the work.

It's just obviously not going to work and you need to rethink your place in the food chain.

We're grateful that bigger players like Resend, Alpaca, etc do want to implement the protocol. The problem is honestly onboarding them fast enough. That's one of the main areas we're going to build out in the next few weeks. Until then, we're writing every agents.json.

If you check out wild-card.ai and create your own collection, you'll find that it's actually really easy to develop with. As a developer, you never have to look at an agents.json if you don't want to.

The resend api has around 10 endpoints.
