@levie This seems like a very manageable and viable solution to tech pricing
Prices will be far less for agent access and I’ll go out on a limb and say that there may be a middle layer of reduced access to traditional SaaS and AI for a user who needs less features and access because of what his agents are doing headless

Our industry is evolving by the minute, and with over 400,000 open jobs on our shop floors, we need more people, not fewer—with more skills, not less—from across our great country and from beyond our borders.
That’s why we are proud to support @RepSmucker’s legislation.
By making sure our nation’s immigration system matches the needs and ambitions of America’s manufacturers, the Essential Workers for American Advancement Act gets it right. This legislation will drive even more skilled workers to our shop floors. It will make manufacturers across our country even more innovative and even more productive.
That’s the kind of immigration reform our nation needs.
