Tinyfish's founder: five lessons from building for agents

3 November 2026, 00:26 · 1 source · Curated by Sara Simeone

@Saboo_Shubham_ shared five takeaways from talking to the founder of Tinyfish: agents are becoming major users of the web, so sites will turn agent-friendly; human approval steps are a phase, not the end state; subscriptions don't suit agents, so Tinyfish charges per task from a prepaid wallet; logins sit in a vault the model never sees, with a separate model checking each action; and the founder runs 12 Claude Code sessions in parallel. These are a vendor's opinions.

Why it mattersTwo ideas to copy now: keep passwords out of your agent's reach (a vault it can use but not read), and add a second check on any action that spends money or sends something.
