Automating Developer Email with MCP and Al Agents

In this episode of AI + a16z,  Resend founder and CEO Zeno Rocha sits down with a16z partner Yoko Li to discuss:How generative AI — powered by agents and, now, MCP — is reshaping the email experience for developers, as well as the overall world of programming. Zeno's obsession with developer experience has evolved into designing for "agent experience" — a new frontier where LLM-powered agents are not only building products but also operating within them. How email, one of the most ubiquitous tools for developers and end users alike, is being reimagined for a future where agents send, parse, and optimize communication. What it means to build agent-friendly APIs. The emerging MCP protocol, and how AI is collapsing the creative loop for prosumers and developers alike.
