#3This text/markdown scheme feels like it's begging for adversarial shenanigans since it lets you serve different content to agents than humans, by design.

If you’re willing to serve adversarial Markdown to agents, you’re already willing to cloak HTML.

#5I wonder if this will also result in a better "readability" mode for human readers? You could do the Markdown to HTML conversion in the browser.

You could always do that. The only difference is CloudFlare can now do this on-the-fly, automatically translating HTML to Markdown. My understanding is that you don't have control over the conversion.

#8Seems odd to have it as paid feature (Pro plan or higher) if it will save on delivery costs etc for them.

I can't help but feel there is a funny pattern going on.
A lot of companies want to embrace AI, agents, etc. so they make their platforms easier to use by AI, implementing whatever the latest craze is.
I imagine we're going to see a lot more APIs open up (agentic finances?), a lot of granular access controls, etc.
Where was all of this when regular users had been asking for it for _years_?
Empowering users in general is a good thing, so, in a way, it's a good thing that OpenClaw and things of this nature are exposing all the issues with access controls and API interactions that many of our services have.
Now we just need a reason for AI agents to need "dark mode" on websites...

Markdown isn't so great for ads or for embedded videos.
