Agents now make up 72% of traffic to API docs, per ReadMe

ReadMe says agents now account for 72% of traffic to API documentation. The company's Restless product puts fix steps and a doc link in API error responses, and reports missing information back as doc updates or issues.

Agents are quickly becoming your API and docs' main users.

The @readme team says agents now make up 72% of traffic to API docs. And when an agent gets stuck, it rarely goes looking for the docs.

Restless puts the fix steps and a doc link right in the error response. If the agent is still stuck, it can report what is missing, and that turns into doc updates or issues.

I build a lot of agents that call APIs, and I want every API to have this.

Your API is now your product, and it needs to move as fast as you do. Introducing Restless. Every call, support question, pull request, and error message leaves your API better for the next agent.
