Digital twins are amazing until the edge they depend on starts paying for global AI agent traffic. At the same time, we’re seeing AI agent triggers (requests that match bot patterns) grow by ~300% over 6 months. calendly.com/sudeshaka/gtc-…

The AI Inbound Tax (with the real number) We’re measuring something executives don’t see in budgets yet In our telemetry, “triggers” are requests that match AI agent patterns (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Bytespider, etc.). That load is up ~300% in just 6 months. calendly.com/sudeshaka/gtc-…
