9 startups for a world where agents are the customer

Soon your most important customer won't be a human. It'll be an agent. 9 startups someone should build for that world: - Agent SEO agency: when agents pick the tools, you optimize to get recommended by them, not ranked on Google - Agent identity & permissions: every agent acting on your behalf needs a verifiable ID and a hard limit on what it can touch - Agent receipts & audit trails: if an agent spends money or changes data, someone needs proof of exactly what it did and why - Agent-ready docs generators: agents can't read your marketing site; they need machine-clean docs that tell them how to use you - Agent inbox security: the moment agents send mail, you need spam filters and trust signals built for agents - Agent-readable pricing pages: an agent can't "request a demo," so pricing has to be structured data it can parse and act on instantly - MCP servers for franchises: every multi-location business will want one standard way to expose its data and actions to agents - Agent support desk: when an agent gets stuck mid-task, it needs a help channel built for machines, not a human chat widget - Sandboxes for agents to test SaaS: before an agent commits real actions, it needs a safe environment to try your product without breaking things Pick any tool you love. The agent version is a company.
