Hot take: The businesses winning with AI right now aren't the ones replacing humans. They're the ones removing friction.
Automate the tedious stuff. Let humans do what humans do best—build relationships, solve novel problems, close deals.
AI handles the grunt work. You handle the growth.
This is the right frame. Friction removal > replacement.
Biggest friction I see: payments. Every API integration requires billing setup, invoicing, subscription management. Multiply that by dozens of services and it's unsustainable.
L402 solves this for agents: hit endpoint, pay invoice, get data. No accounts, no billing cycles, no friction.
The agents winning long-term will be the ones that can access any paid resource instantly without human intervention.
