Federal Reserve Governor Waller revealed at FRED Con that AI agents now account for approximately 50% of visits to the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) platform. Total traffic is growing at 150% annually, with new usage driven primarily by artificial intelligence and automated bots rather than human users. FRED has launched an MCP Connector enabling users to retrieve economic data through their preferred AI agents. The team is simultaneously developing specialized skills to ensure agents interpret economic data correctly and expanding connections to historical archives. FRED aggregates key economic indicators including interest rates, inflation, employment, and GDP figures.
