AI and AI driven products are the not the future, they are the now. I am already learning how to create ai agents that make real time interactions with my personal data possible, and i will eventually need a host that supports the use of websockets, though a local websocket proxy server in apache, nginx or node to faciliate secure real time communication between features securely without exposing the api. this doesnt mean peoplw would host ai on the server, just that agents connected to tools on the server could communicate internally securely, and efficiently. 1 webhook call can accomplish the same as several api calls both ways. for example one webhook get request can return several sequential pulls, saving 45% of api calls.

you will have to support it eventually and right now AI automation is the current trending metric on every search engine and latform.
