AI agents are the new API consumer type. However, they don’t interact with APIs in the same way as human users. In this opening keynote, I’ll compare traditional human-driven API interaction patterns with emerging agent-driven, LLM-based patterns.
We’ll look at how discovery, understanding, integration, API requests, traffic patterns, and other aspects of API consumption differ between these two paradigms. As we’ll see, understanding these differences is critical to designing platform interfaces for the agentic era — both to improve the accuracy and reliability of agent interactions and to safeguard the capabilities agents can access.
Through industry case studies and examples, we’ll explore how API consumption is changing and what these shifts mean for API providers, setting the stage for the discussions to come at Nordic APIs Summit 2026.
