YOUR USERS AREN'T HUMAN ANYMORE; START BUILDING FOR AGENTS TODAY

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Traditional SaaS metrics like DAU/MAU are becoming misleading as AI agents increasingly act on behalf of users, shifting value creation from human logins to programmatic actions. Companies should track Monthly Active Agents (MAA), focus on agent retention as the new signal of product-market fit, redesign products for programmatic access (API/MCP-first), and move beyond seat-based pricing toward usage- or value-based models in an agent-driven software economy.
