Direction

Today's opportunities center on AI agents taking over control of vertical workflows : from ad bidding adchestra to tool orchestration Agentic Resource Discovery , and B2B procurement 1688's AI auto-purchase share 30% . The market is shifting from 'AI assists humans' to 'AI agents execute directly,' with humans moving to review and exception handling. For founders, the entry point is not another general assistant but finding high-frequency, rule-based vertical scenarios with clear ROI, handing control to agents while keeping human oversight.

Key Projects

adchestra Positioning : Use natural language to directly operate Google Ads accounts, executing bid adjustments and campaign changes, delivering updated account status and reports. Insight : Daily ad optimization bid changes, budget tweaks is high-frequency and rule-based, ideal for agentification. adchestra uses the MCP protocol to access ad accounts, letting AI agents execute directly rather than just suggest. The key design is 'critical changes require human review,' balancing automation and risk. Market Context : 1688's AI auto-purchase transaction share exceeded 30%, showing enterprises trust AI agents for transactional operations. Ad bidding, with high ROI, is a clear candidate for agentification. Opportunity : Similar vertical agents could expand to other ad platforms Meta, TikTok or extend to SEO, email marketing, and other high-frequency optimization scenarios.

Agentic Resource Discovery

  • Positioning: Provide dynamic tool discovery and availability checks for multi-tool agents, searching across registries and MCP endpoints, returning a list of callable tools.
  • Insight: As the MCP ecosystem grows, agents need to know 'what tools exist, which are online, and which have permissions.' This product solves the 'addressing' problem for agents—an infrastructure-layer opportunity.
  • Market Context: AWS published lifecycle policies for AgentCore memory, and LangChain updated to support async tools, pointing to maturing production environments for agents. Tool discovery and governance will become essential.
  • Opportunity: Could extend to tool versioning, permission auditing, and failover, becoming the 'service mesh' for the agent era.

AI-Engineering-Lab

  • Positioning: A 24-week hands-on curriculum for transitioning engineers, offering 43 runnable notebooks covering RAG, fine-tuning, agents, and cloud deployment.
  • Insight: AI learning is shifting from theory to engineering practice; enterprises need talent that can hit the ground running. This lab provides 'working' code, not just videos, aligning with the 'learn by doing' trend.
  • Market Context: AWS published multiple agent deployment blogs, showing strong enterprise demand for AI engineering, but a talent gap persists. Hands-on courses are key to filling it.
  • Opportunity: Could partner with enterprises for custom training or provide cloud sandboxes for real-world practice.
