What this means:

If you have a product that has APIs and can be verified, anyone can copy the APIs and the features. By the way, you absolutely want to offer APIs so your product can be used by agents.

This means you need to compete on aspects other than features.

Just because you can emulate all the APIs doesn't mean you can build AWS.

Availability, reputation, performance, domain expertise, price: all of these become critical in a world where features can be copied.
