Description: In this episode of AI + a16z,  Resend founder and CEO Zeno Rocha sits down with a16z partner Yoko Li to discuss:How generative AI — powered by agents and, now, MCP — is reshaping the email experience for developers, as well as the overall world of programming. Zeno's obsession with developer experience has evolved into designing for "agent experience" — a new frontier where LLM-powered agents are not only building products but also operating within them. How email, one of the most ubiquitous tools for developers and end users alike, is being reimagined for a future where agents send, parse, and optimize communication. What it means to build agent-friendly APIs. The emerging MCP protocol, and how AI is collapsing the creative loop for prosumers and developers alike.Learn more:What is AX (agent experience) and how to improve itA deep dive into MCP and the future of AI toolingDracula themeFollow everyone on X:Zeno RochaYoko Li Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.
