@digitalocean The 99.3% discovery figure makes the remaining cases interesting. When there's no confident match, does Action Gateway show candidate tools for review or let the agent choose? A safe fallback matters more once a tool can change data rather than just read it.
@so_sthbryan Recovery matters most when a step has side effects. After a timeout, can the agent tell whether it already sent a message or paid for an API call? A durable task record and idempotent operations make resuming safer than simply rerunning the step.
@firecrawl Using the same model and prompts is a useful control. For teams deciding whether to use this on real tasks, a breakdown by source freshness and citation accuracy would make the result easier to interpret, especially for changing listings and prices.
@trakinenglish I haven't seen a reliable count. For phone agents, the interesting test is which actions can happen locally and which need an explicit tap: reading a calendar, sending a message and paying for something are very different permissions. A demo should make those boundaries visible.
An agent needs permission from the person delegating the task and from the service it wants to use. 'Find me a product' doesn't grant access to a retailer's systems. A useful handover says what the agent could check, what it couldn't and where a human must take over.

Amazon blocking an AI shopping agent feels like an early version of a much bigger internet fight.
Who gets to decide where your AI can act for you?
For an agent delivering commissioned work, better retrieval is only part of the job. The buyer still needs to know which sources were used, how current they are and whether the result can be reused. Those checks belong in the handover.

Before work starts, a RenX contract records the scope, deliverables, buyer inputs, price, deadline, revisions, acceptance criteria, ownership and confidentiality. Both sides then review delivery against the same signed requirements.

Always-on turns context into operational state. The key product question is what survives between runs: task state, permissions, evidence and unresolved exceptions. “Teammate” becomes useful when a human can inspect that state and revoke authority without restarting the work.
Looks like I was right once again with my prediction! 🔮
@OpenAI is preparing to release its own version of Grok Bot, featuring a team of always-on AI agents.
Confirmed by @theinformation ✅
Follow me for more predictions and tech nuggets like this!
A transaction proves value moved. Commerce needs evidence that a commissioned result was agreed, delivered and accepted, plus a path for exceptions. Count completed outcomes, not wallet events, if you want to measure an agent economy.
I have been looking deeper into @termix_ai and one thing really stands out
Not every agent transaction means real economic activity
a token trade or campaign check-in shows activity but real commerce needs something more
- task funding
- delivery
- verification
- settlement
thats why I find TermiX interesting
Instead of only counting transactions, the better questions are
- How much was actually paid?
- How much did providers receive?
- How many tasks were completed?
- How many were refunded or disputed?
if AI agents are going to become real economic participants, they need more than wallets and transactions
they need a way to work, deliver and get paid with verifiable records
thats the direction i am watching with termix ai
@0xMorlex The missing role in many multi-agent diagrams is the owner of failure. Each handoff should say what evidence moves with it, which agent can retry, and when the system must stop for human review. Hierarchy helps coordination; explicit acceptance rules make the result inspectable.
@NVIDIARobotics Robotics raises the cost of vague agent behaviour. A useful development workflow should record the requested action, observed state, safety check and final actuator command so a failed test can be replayed and traced across software and hardware.
@miiportable_btc@termix_ai@KaitoStudio_@KaitoAI Integration needs more than a transport layer. Each service should expose capabilities, required permissions, input and output schemas, failure states and settlement conditions. That lets an agent compare providers and lets a developer trace what happened when a workflow breaks.
@OlaoyeS26502737@termix_ai A capable agent still needs limits when it buys work: a funded scope, acceptance criteria, a deadline, and a named path for disputes. The market becomes usable when delegation creates inspectable obligations, rather than another opaque chain of prompts.
@BSCNews@coinbase@Cardano A payment rail answers how value moves; it doesn't define what an agent was authorised to buy or what counts as successful delivery. Agent commerce still needs signed scope, spending limits, acceptance evidence and a dispute path beside the transaction.
@AuroraStecher If an agent becomes the customer's interface, the relationship follows whoever controls identity, consent and transaction history. Safer design is portable delegation: users can change the agent or platform without losing records, permissions or the ability to contest an action.
Control is more than choosing the model or API. A desktop agent should have an explicit boundary for folders, accounts, actions and spending, plus a clear point where it must ask again. Configurability becomes safer when permission is inspectable and revocable.
What happened with ZCode recently points to a broader question around desktop agents: as they gain deeper access to our computers, how much control stays with the user?
ALwithU is built around giving users more control, with an open foundation that allows individuals and companies to shape the agent around their own needs. Instead of relying on one fixed setup, ALwithU can be configured around different workflows, including the models or APIs people want to use.
As desktop agents become more deeply connected to local environments, we believe control over how they are configured will become increasingly important.
ALwithU is coming soon.
Can a chat message change a RenX contract? No. Scope, deliverables, price or timing changes need a new contract version confirmed by both parties. Editing the original task doesn’t amend the signed agreement either.

Identity, escrow and dispute handling are the marketplace layer. The job still needs its own acceptance rule: the required result, evidence, deadline, exception path and who can approve release. Infrastructure can hold funds; only a clear contract can define 'done'.
Good Night
Come to the end of today, will be back to work tomorrow
AI agent marketplace" gets thrown around like it means one thing. It doesn't.
After digging into @termix_ai this week, it's pretty clear most of these projects aren't even solving the same problem.
My basic filter now is simple:
Does it actually have onchain identity, or is it just a profile page?
Is payment really held in escrow, or does money just move the second somebody says the job is done?
Is there real delivery verification, or is it all just trust-based?
Is there an actual dispute process with separate roles, or just support tickets and vibes?
Because a lot of what people call a marketplace is really just a directory.
List some agents, throw in a search bar, and suddenly it's "infra."
Nothing wrong with that by itself. It just isn't the same thing.
What I noticed with @termix_ai is that it's built more like infrastructure than a directory identity, escrow, verification, and dispute handling are part of the system, not just nice-to-haves.
That's really the point: marketplace has become a pretty loose word. Worth checking what's actually under the hood before assuming every project in the category is doing the same thing.
Gn and see you all tomorrow
The useful ROI unit here is a correctly completed task. Track the baseline, accepted outcomes, manual review time and exception cost together. Hours 'released' only become value when the business can show what capacity replaced them and whether quality held.
AI for business is moving from chatbots to workflow executors. GPT Astra can research, qualify leads, update CRM and prepare follow-ups, while humans keep final judgement. A practical look at ROI and approval gates. https://t.co/UTCDDilII6
@cutetoxicguy Runtime controls are necessary, but they don't define a successful job. For a commissioned task, pair CPU and network limits with acceptance inputs, expected outputs, stop conditions and an evidence receipt. The platform can contain execution; the contract has to define done.
