44:04Now PlayingIn 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.
