Anyone Seeing AI Agents Consume Paid Datasets Yet?

I’m a founder doing some early research and wanted to get a pulse check from folks here.

I’m seeing more AI agents and automated workflows directly calling data APIs (instead of humans or companies manually integrating). It made me wonder whether, over time, agents might become real “buyers” of datasets, paying per use or per request.

Curious how people here are seeing this. Does the idea of agents paying directly for data make sense, or feel unrealistic?

Just trying to understand how dataset creators and sellers are thinking about this shift, or whether it’s too early/overhyped.

Would love to hear any honest takes!
