Agent Experience (AX)

  • building

The discipline of designing software, docs, and interfaces to be used well by AI agents, not only by human users.

Agent Experience (AX) borrows its name and shape from User Experience: where UX asks whether a human can accomplish a task without friction, AX asks the same question of an agent acting on a human’s behalf. The two overlap but diverge in specifics — an agent doesn’t get confused by a cluttered layout, but it does get stuck on an ambiguous tool schema, a link that only works after a click event, or documentation that assumes context it was never given.
