People Inc. is building custom APIs so AI agents can access its content more efficiently, according to chief innovation officer Jon Roberts, who spoke at Digiday's Media Strategies London event. Roberts argued that around 90% of an HTML page is junk meant for browsers, which would distract agents and make processing unnecessary tokens expensive. As first reported by Digiday, the approach delivers article text and key details in a simpler format.
