Keep my household AI workflows running as sites block agents

Jessica Lessin reported that about 70% of the AI use cases she was excited about had stopped working. Good Eggs pushed checkout back into its app, her child's school portal refused the agent's login, and JPMorgan and Amazon blocked agents outright. Segment starts at 15:16.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Use the AI across grocery checkout, a school portal and banking
  2. Good Eggs requires checkout inside its own app
  3. School portal refuses the agent login
  4. JPMorgan and Amazon block agents outright
  5. Roughly 70% of her use cases stop working

Why it’s worth knowing

Her workflows did not fail on their own — the open web actively revoked the agent's access until most of them died.
