A Progressive Vendor Stance for the Agent-Native Future
I emailed Famly support in September 2024 asking for a parent-side data export feature. They couldn't commit it to product (a small SaaS has to chase revenue features), but they pointed me at their API and left me an architecturally accessible position to build the integration myself. Twenty months later, with an AI harness on my side, bairn shipped. That stance is the right one for a world where users will increasingly act through agents.
