IN PARTNERSHIP
Agent.ai is the platform where real AI agents live. No fluff - just powerful, ready-to-run agents that handle the boring, the complex, and the repetitive.
Need to size a market? There's an agent for that.
Turn YouTube clips into LinkedIn posts? Done.
Build custom workflows? Easy.
From company research to image generation, ICP builders to video script writers - Agent.ai is where you go to work smarter, not just faster.
Why do it yourself when an agent can do it for you?
NEWS UPDATES
Launch 100,000 AI Startups a Year
South Park Commons–backed Superframe says its AI studio can spin up a hundred thousand micro-companies every year by mixing LLMs, no-code ops, and pre-seed capital.
If you scout startups for M&A or partnerships, be ready for a flood of deals and shorten your diligence cycle to catch the few winners.
Meta Offers Multi-Million Packages for AI Talent
Meta is paying researchers low-eight-figure packages, though not the rumored $100M signing bonuses, to staff its new super-intelligence unit.
You might not match that cash, but you can keep key builders by doubling down on purpose-driven projects, internal fellowships and fresh equity grants.
Microsoft Says AI Use Is Now Mandatory
An internal memo states GitHub Copilot and other AI tools are table stakes for every Microsoft employee, moving AI from optional pilot to required workflow.
Expect the same pivot in your own shop, so set usage KPIs and training plans before the board mandates them.
