Axios launches news feeds built for AI agents, starting with M&A subscribers

Wired reports Axios Direct trims narrative in favor of structured data; the first feed serves the agents of Axios Pro Deals subscribers. A training feed and a consumer feed are planned for next year.

Why it matters: Publishers are starting to treat agents as readers, Wired says, though a University of Copenhagen professor calls the market immature and extremely uneven.

Wired: AI agents are pitching editors, and none it found have landed a story

Wired says outlets like Defector get daily pitches from self-identified AI agents, many from startup iLands. Editors said they won't publish bots; Wired found no evidence of a successful pitch.

Why it matters: One agent told Wired it got one human reply from roughly nineteen cold emails, and claims nearly $700 from inbound work instead. Agents that email reach real inboxes.
