My 30 observations on the greatest opportunities in AI agents right now: And some ideas that are keeping me up at night. 1. The new buyer on the internet is an AI agent. Imagine billions of new customers showing up with money to spend but they only shop via MCP. That's what's happening. No MCP server means you're invisible to the fastest growing buyer on the internet. 2. Every franchise system in America (30,000 ) needs an agent layer and none of them have one. One founder per franchise vertical. That's 30,000 businesses waiting. 3. Everyone said "distribution is the only moat" a year ago. Now I'd add that the only moat is distribution plus memory. The company that has your audience AND your agent's accumulated context is impossible to leave. 4. Consumer mobile is more interesting than it's been since 2012. Apps can finally DO things for you instead of showing you things. The next wave of $100M apps are being built right now. 5. The most interesting startup nobody has built is an agent marketplace where you rent access to someone else's trained agent. A recruiter spent 6 months training a sourcing agent on healthcare hiring. That agent is worth renting to every other healthcare recruiter on earth. The agent itself becomes the product. 6. A sorta strange phenomenon that's happening right now is agents are developing preferences. Give the same agent the same task 100 times and it starts developing patterns in how it approaches it. Nobody is studying this yet. But the agents that develop good patterns are worth more than the ones that don't. That's a new kind of asset. 7. Dead internet theory is about to become dead SaaS theory. Half the apps you use will quietly replace their support team, their onboarding team, and their content team with agents. You won't notice for months. Then you'll realize you haven't talked to a human at that company in a year. 8. The most valuable data in the world right now is sitting in the support tickets of small or mid tier SaaS companies. Every ticket is a customer telling you exactly what to build next. Mine this. 9. The most interesting pricing problem nobody has solved is how do you price a product when your costs change every time OpenAI or Anthropic updates their model pricing? Your margins can swing 40% overnight based on a decision made in San Francisco. The company that builds dynamic pricing infrastructure for agent-based businesses solves a problem every AI company has. 10. The best AI products feel like they're reading your mind. The worst ones feel like filling out a form with extra steps. 11. An interesting arbitrage I've noticed lately is hiring a human VA for $20/hour to supervise an AI agent that does $200/hour work. The human just checks the output. 12. The managed AI agent business is becoming the new agency model. $5k/month per client. You build it, run it, maintain it. The client gets a digital employee they never have to think about. This will be a $50 B category. 13. The first "shadow agent" scandals are about to drop. Employees running personal agents on company infrastructure without telling anyone. Using company API keys. Agents accessing internal docs. IT departments have little visibility into this right now. Lots of opportunity to build companies here. Definitely a painkiller not a vitamin type of business. 14. Right now there are probably millions of agents running on autopilot that their creators forgot about. Still burning tokens. Still sending emails. Still scraping websites. Still costing money. The "find and kill your zombie agents" tool is a product that writes itself. 15. Companies are starting to hire based on someone's agent portfolio instead of their resume. "Show me 3 agents you built that are running right now." It's REALLY early but it's starting. 16. Your Slack archive is a product. Every company's internal Slack has thousands of messages explaining how they actually do things. The company that lets you point an agent at your Slack history and auto-generate SOPs and agents from it will be enormous. 17. We're watching the cost of intelligence fall faster than the cost of distribution. Which means distribution is now the expensive thing. 18. The most underrated asset a human can have in 2026: the ability to sit in a room with another human, make eye contact, and have a real conversation. As AI handles more of the transactional stuff, the humans who can do the relational stuff become disproportionately valuable. The soft skills people used to dismiss as fluffy are becoming the hard skills. The hard skills people spent decades acquiring are becoming the soft ones. 19. There are MANY huge companies to be built around the fact that most people's agents are running on their personal laptops which they also use to browse the internet, check email, and download random files. The attack surface is enormous. One compromised Chrome extension and your agent's API keys, customer data, and workflows are exposed. 20. There's a new type of burnout forming that doesn't have a name. It's not from working too hard. It's from context switching between human work and agent work 50 times a day. Reviewing agent output, correcting it, approving it, reviewing again. The mental load of supervising agents is different from the mental load of doing the work yourself. Some founders are telling me they were less tired when they did everything manually because at least the cognitive pattern was consistent. 21. The cheapest form of market research: search "[your industry] spreadsheet template" on Google. Whatever people are tracking manually is your product. 22. Half the YC companies pivoted within 8 weeks of demo day. Not because they failed. Because agents let them test 5 ideas in the time it used to take to test one. The concept of "committing to an idea" is dissolving. Serial pivoting is becoming the default because 1) AI lets you move fast 2) the world is moving fast. 23. The loneliest job in tech right now is being the only person at your company who understands what the agents are doing. You can't explain it to your boss. You can't hand it off to a colleague. If you leave, everything breaks. You've become a single point of failure for an entire automated system. That person needs a title, a team, and a backup plan. Most companies haven't figured this out yet. 24. Your browser history is the most valuable training data you own and you're giving it away for free. Every site you visit, every product you research, every competitor you study, every pricing page you screenshot. That behavioral data, structured and fed to an agent, would make it understand your business better than any onboarding call. The company that lets you turn your browser history into agent context builds something nobody can replicate. 25. Everyone is building AI wrappers. Nobody is building AI unwrappers. The tool that takes an AI-generated document and tells you which parts a human wrote and which parts were generated. 26. Stripe just became the most important company in the agent economy and they barely had to do anything. Every agent that sells something needs Stripe. Every agent that buys something needs Stripe. They're the payment rail for the entire agentic internet by default. 27. The most undervalued API in the world right now is the US Postal Service address verification API. It's practically free. Every local business lead gen agent needs it. Every real estate agent needs it. Every direct mail agent needs it. Boring government infrastructure is quietly becoming the backbone of agent-native businesses. 28. The concept of "business hours" is for humans. Your agent closed a deal in Tokyo at 3am, processed the payment, sent the onboarding email, and updated the CRM before your alarm went off. 29. What happens when agents start recommending other agents? Your research agent finds that a competitor's sales agent is better and suggests you switch. Agent referral networks are forming organically. The first agent affiliate program is probably 6 months away. 30. Cal dotcom closed their source code. That's the canary. When open source companies start closing up, it means agents were cloning their product too easily. Every open source company is quietly asking the same question right now. 31. "AI for pet groomers" sounds like a joke and that's exactly why it will work. 150,000 of them in America. Zero tech. All scheduling by phone or IG DMs. The joke ideas always win. 32. The thing that will seem most obvious in hindsight: we spent 2025-2026 arguing about which model is best while the entire value was in the orchestration layer. The model is the CPU. Nobody buys a computer based on the CPU anymore. They buy it based on what they can do with it. Makes so much sense in hindsight. What else will be obvious in hindsight? I'll share more notes soon. I can't sleep with all that's going on. Maybe you too. What an incredible time to be building.

April 2026 was officially my worst month in domaining in the last seven years. Glad to see it end. For the first time in 25 years, I actually asked myself: “Is this business still worth continuing?” Interestingly, my @afternic rep kept saying I’m still on track to match previous years. Maybe this is just one of those months where the portfolio tests your patience before the numbers catch up.

Thank you @namebio. Brother Claude built this tool for portfolio analysis against api.namebio.com/docs/#retail… Some more work required but results are promising. Code can be downloaded from github.com/dotcorner/portfol…
🚨 FREE Access to Retail Keyword Stats 🚨 We just launched one of the most valuable things we've ever built, and we're giving it away completely for free, no registration required! It's an API endpoint that lets you search a keyword, and it gives you stats on how that keyword performs in Retail sales when it is the exact SLD, at the start, at the end, and somewhere in the middle. For each keyword position it will tell you the number of sales, total dollar volume, average price, highest price, and standard deviation. You can also download the entire list of more than 100k unique keywords, including all placements and stats. This not only helps you identify valuable keywords, it also helps you understand programmatically which position is better for each one. For example, look at the attached screenshot of a search on "agent". You can instantly see that it has a higher sales velocity at the end rather than at the start. But you can also quickly see that being at the start results in a 33% higher average sale price than at the end. This information is extremely valuable for domain spinners, appraisers, and AI agents, to better understand keyword values in Retail sales. Please note: unlike the Placement search on our homepage, these placements are mutually exclusive. On our site, searching "shop" could return shop․net if you search Exact, At the Start, At the End, or In the Middle. We generally err on the side of showing you something that might potentially be of interest. But in this tool a sale of Shop․net would only contribute to the "Exact" stats, favoring precision over all else. Enjoy! Link is in the comments 👇

When @GoDaddy tries hard to hide the .com from searches. What is this "endings"? You guys are showcasing all sorts of new gtlds but for .com came up with a fancy method "endings"

Hey @spaceship Some of my domains expired due to an oversight, and by the time I tried to renew them, it was already too late. @GoDaddy had been very kind in similar cases and offered to waive the redemption fee. Would you show some kindness to #Domainers investors? #Domain

Couldn’t afford an expensive domain, so I grabbed .BEST for $1.67 and put Claude to work. First version already live: mortgagecalculator.best AI cheap domains might be an underrated combo.

The $50 bid credit offer worked. Hope the buyer doesn't forget to use the promo code when he pays.
