This chart is a good reminder of how much opportunity there is in AI agents right now.
There will be plenty of horizontal opportunities for agents, but equally many workflows that need deep domain expertise to actually make the user successful at automating the unique processes in their vertical.
The template is to build agentic software that taps into proprietary data, handles the workflow in a way that bridges the user and the agent collaboration effectively, and has a deep domain-specific context engineering, and the ability to drive change management for customers.
There still are huge openings in many categories.
What does it actually mean for an agent to remember across years? Still an open question.
EverMind is running a global competition around that, and EPIC Connector is co-driving it. Build an agent on EverMemOS with real long-term memory, ship a Memory Plugin, or contribute to OS Infra design. $80K in prizes. Backed by OpenAI and AWS.

We hosted AI Outlook 2026 in London last week. 60+ founders and designers came together to talk about where AI product development is headed.
Two shifts stood out:
- Workflows are breaking down. AI is no longer a plugin. It is the foundation. Teams are moving from rigid steps to intent-driven flows.
- Designers are giving up control to gain authority. Less pixel-pushing, more strategic curation. Knowing when to let AI run, and when humans must step in for high-stakes calls.
Thanks to our speakers: Jize (Andy) Du (TrustAI), Shuzhi Huang (AMMO AI), Chuang Niu (Nodespell), Weijie Fu (Monzo), Arthur C. (Intercom), Yuqi Cai (Intryc, YC S24).
Thanks @Tiannan_Zhao for hosting, and everyone who came through in the rain.
Most founders who fly to Silicon Valley don't fail because of bad technology. They fail because they can't access the rooms where decisions happen.
