Writing for an audience of agents — podcast with Ethan Palm from Mintlify

In this podcast, co-host Fabrizio Ferri-Benedetti and I chat with Ethan Palm, a technical writer and knowledge engineer at Mintlify, about what happens when nearly half your documentation traffic comes from AI agents. We discuss Mintlify's platform data on agent versus human traffic, hidden directories for agent-only content, the uncertain future of llms.txt, automated doc maintenance workflows where writing accounts for at most ten percent of the job, and the social atrophy that comes from reaching for a terminal prompt instead of a coworker.
