The document discusses different interfaces for accessing systems and services, including web UIs, mobile apps, and APIs. It notes that APIs provide more flexibility than other interfaces by allowing for real-time decisions, historical reports, and automation. The document advocates for treating APIs as a new interface and making them easy to use through documentation, code examples, and ensuring they work with common HTTP tools.
