AX is the only Experience that Matters - Ivan Burazin, Daytona
Jul 24, 2025 · 15:25
Ivan Burazin, co-founder of Daytona, argues that agent experience (AX) is the only experience that matters, as AI agents will soon outnumber human developers and tools must be built for agents to autonomously operate. He cites that 25% of YC startups say AI writes 95% of their code and 37% of the latest YC batch build agents as products. Burazin outlines three AX pillars—seamless authentication, agent-readable docs (like Stripe's .md and LLMs.txt), and API-first design—then introduces Daytona's agent-native runtime, which spins up sandboxes in 27 milliseconds and includes features like a declarative image builder, network-mounted volumes for large datasets, and parallel execution for agents to fork environments. He concludes that any tool requiring a human in the loop is built for the past, and if agents cannot use a product, no one will.
