> A human can't search 10 apps for the best rates / lowest fees but an agent can.

Why would those apps permit access by agents?

It's always been the case that “agents” could watch content with ads, so that the users can watch the same content later, but without ads. The technology never went mainstream, though. I expect agents posing as humans would have a similar whiff of illegality, preventing wide adoption.

Local agents running open weights models won't really work because everybody will train their services against the most popular ones anyway.
