The startup landscape is undergoing its most profound transformation since the internet revolution. This change is powered by a convergence of forces. Large language models (LLMs) have reached a level of maturity that makes them capable of reasoning and planning tasks. When given access to relevant data and permission to act on the user’s behalf, LLMs can act as agents, taking on the role of digital assistant or even digital employee. New frameworks enable multiple agents to coordinate autonomously, creating agentic AI systems, or teams of digital colleagues. Low-cost application programming interfaces (APIs) have made it inexpensive to connect different IT systems so that they can share data and work together. And cloud costs continue to fall even as computing capabilities rise.
