APIs are becoming the new UI.
We’re slowly moving from:
Human → UI → Data
to:
AI Agent → API → Action
Most future software interactions may not happen through dashboards or buttons anymore.
They’ll happen through:
☐ AI agents
☐ copilots
☐ automated workflows
☐ autonomous systems
And these systems don’t understand beautiful interfaces.
They understand structured data.
That’s why APIs are becoming more important than traditional UI layers.
Especially in e-commerce.
A human can manually browse:
☐ product pages
☐ filters
☐ variations
☐ delivery estimates
☐ seller details
But AI agents can’t reliably understand messy, dynamic commerce pages at scale.
Traditional scraping also breaks because:
☐ pricing changes by location
☐ availability changes by pincode
☐ product variations are deeply nested
☐ delivery timelines constantly change
☐ most websites are designed for humans, not AI systems
This is creating an entirely new infrastructure layer:
structured commerce intelligence for AI systems.
That’s one of the reasons we started building Pricium.
Not just as a scraping API -
but as infrastructure for AI-native commerce applications.
Feels like we’re entering a phase where:
APIs are no longer backend utilities.
They are becoming the interface itself 👀
