yeah, great question.
Many platforms right now are making the difficult decision whether to:
(a) wall off their data from programmatic access (agents) altogether in service of keeping real humans on their site, or
(b) allow programmatic access for the increasing number of users who are demanding their agents interact with the data
We obviously believe humanity and society and cyberspace should go in the direction of (b)
LinkedIn is an interesting case because their policy, so far, has been to aggressively restrict agents from interacting with their site. But this is because they serve human-centered ads which most of us find aggressive and annoying (I'm thinking of messages appearing in my DMs that appear real but are in fact sponsored). So you would still see that "ad" even if you were using Attention. It would just be easier to label it as "promotional" and i would prefer my agent does that so I do not even have to see it.
I want linkedin to serve my agent ads that are so interesting and personally compelling that my agent thinks i should hear about it.
Just my 2¢ - perhaps my cofounder will chime in with his own thoughts
