What Today Signals
The clearest pattern is that agents are becoming both the product and the customer. Gologin, Radar, Suno MCP and Simantic all treat an AI agent as a user that needs a browser, observability, creative capabilities or a safe place to test. Meanwhile MAO and Floot show builders wanting to stay inside the tools they already use, whether that is a canvas of coding agents or a chat window. Our read is that the next wave of defensible startups may be the quiet plumbing that makes agents reliable, while the crowded assistant category will be won on narrow, well-chosen workflows such as small business voice or email. The physical world is also getting attention, with firmware, robotics and gadget building all showing up in one day.
