I'm interested in how Agentweb uses SEO sent you a DM abt it

Excited to welcome AgentWeb to DIRA Network. AgentWebLive connects AI agents to the real world with live access to 72M businesses, local search, contact data and agent-ready APIs. A powerful new data layer for agents built to discover, decide and take action. Explore AgentWeb on DIRA

Even Brian says that more agents are going to start using Hubspot than humans are we simply ignoring the fact that the future of the internet is designed entirely for agents? And guess what. we don’t need new technology on top of legacy software. we need entirely new technology for agents which is entirely our premise behind AgentWeb. excited to announce that we’re hiring founding engineers, so reach out

Too many people overcomplicate their product to an unnecessary level and get confused in their own wording, to the point where it takes them ~6 sentences to explain what they do. I'm also guilty of this when we started out (when we were in pivot hell and we were testing things every other hour) But as we made progress (we're now at 65k agent requests through AgentWeb), we've realized one thing: the ability to dumb down your product to the point where you can explain it to a granny on a train is actually very high signal I'm blessed to have younger siblings that know nothing about tech (yet), and I have them explain AgentWeb back to me. You'll be fascinated by how accurate they get it, and that should be a new baseline test for understanding your problem so well, that a 5 year old could get it (literally)

Finally someone said the quiet part out loud. The world is so far away from mass adoption of proactive agents. An agent is something that can act ON YOUR BEHALF WITHOUT YOU NEEDING TO BE THE PROMPTER It can understand context, make decisions, buy from businesses, trade goods, verify payments, complete all of that without a single human interference in the loop Of course there's many issues and security concerns, which is why the mass adoption of this world is far, but the agent-first layer is here. Excited to be building AgentWeb for this exact future

Wrote a technical whitepaper on agentweb, dm me if you wanna read it and offer feedback :) will buy you coffee if in SF next time

Getting your first few customers is one thing. Building something that actually scales is another. That's exactly where most founders get stuck, and what we're tackling in Episode 2 of The Founder's Guide to GTM with AgentWeb. We're getting into the real stuff: which channels are worth your time, how to track what's actually working, and what quick wins you can act on right now.

Hot take: you need an "absorbing" phase of your life Back in November 2024 after I had a very toxic breakup I knew nothing about startups. I didn't even know what YC was. All my teen years I've done side projects interned at corporate companies as a high school kid. And then I had a cannon event moment when I realized I was being incredibly dependent on other people and had no idea what I was doing with my life. So after the breakup I had two paths: 1. drink college life be a degen to try and feel sorry for myself 2. work myself out of misery and become obsessed with startups so of course I took the latter, and started working 23 hour days. I was reading every blog, watching every video, understanding every concept in depth, talking to founders, posting on social media and trying to elevate my life. I would often forget to eat, not rest (coz all I could think about was work) and skipped class. It got to the point where I (as @AlexHormozi puts it) entered into the "lonely" phase of my life. I was working too hard to be around my fraternity friends (our interests just didn't match anymore) and I ended up leaving the frat. But I was too newbie to be hanging around the *cool kids* and founders that were building cool tech, so I couldn't even be around them. So I made some friends who were in similar stages of my life and we ended up competing in hackathons together (winning GPU's) and even pursuing the startup life. No successes, but I realized I wanted to build smth of my own for sure. I talked to customers, failed, talked to customers more, failed, partnered with my school and even got an official partnership with my startup. But still, it wasn't it. So I tried again, and failed again. I went from club discovery for college students --> ed tech for ADHD ppl --> restaurants for tax savings --> jet fuel for optimizing flight speed --> positioning of air crafts for charters --> agent-first travel agency --> synthetic data generation for physical AI (in no particular order) until I finally landed on AgentWeb after 18 months of true *absorption* of what it means to build a company None of this would have been possible without the failures of my life. Like I always say, you can't lose if you never quit. Shoutout to everyone that I met on this journey. I'm 20 and just getting started. We now grew from 0 network requests via agents --> 35K in just 23 days working with 9 design partners with AgentWeb. Super exciting times ahead, and if you want to talk ab agents, hmu!! DM's always open :)

Good take, but still not enough. The future customers aren't going to be humans. They'll be agents that just *know things* about you and your preferences. I genuinely, whole-heartedly believe that agents acting on behalf of customers is going to be the norm within the next decade. This means that things like guardrails, permission scoping, auth, payment handling, edge cases, trust layers, all of it are gonna be built for agents. Instead of a human-facing chatbot that can answer a question, imagine how incredibly efficient it would be if your agent knew everything about you, and then it could go and literally negotiate / do things on your behalf in real time to the company's agent. Until both of the agents agreed to settle on something and then came back to their respective owners. Now that's a world of tech worth living in. That's exactly what we're planning on doing at AgentWeb :)

well would you look at that. this is why the thesis for AgentWeb exists in the first place, ultimately understanding that current software is all designed for humans, but mass adoption wants simplicity with simplicity, your requests originate through either text/voice through a conversation, not an interface this means that I could go on WhatsApp and say “book me an air BnB in Nashville for 4 ppl with a budget of $1000” and it could just do it in order for it to *do it* though, the receiving app (in this case Airbnb) needs to be agent-ready. This is exactly what we help with :) Brian, would love to chat

It's so funny to me when people will give you manuals of what it means to be a startup founder, coz in reality every story is fundamentally different. There's no "frameworks" around what it means to go and talk to customers. Some might hang around billboards and wait by offices, some might bombard someone with emails. But the overall key is to be persistent. When I wanted my NVIDIA GTC ticket in 2025 I went to my school of engineering and sent a total of 32 emails and physically stood at the door and begged them to pay for my ticket (I was a broke college kid) That persistence finally made them fold and I got the ticket paid for. I ended up going to GTC, winning it, meeting some super dope ppl and having a real shot at building a company. Unfortunately that failed, and I had 4 more tries after that. All of those failed too, and now we're building agentweb (and not failing atm) But as I always say, you can't lose if you don't quit. So moral of the story: there's no *framework* for being a founder, but the one key trait is resilience. If you show to people why you will never quit, they'll invest, which increases your odds of success

It’s very refreshing to see people finally starting to catch on that the future of software, commerce, hospitality, research, etc is all going to be designed for agents. It’s the entire reason we started AgentWeb, with the focus of building the infrastructure from the ground up instead of focusing on the agent stack on top of legacy software, which is where companies are headed at the moment. The world will soon catch on…

this is so funny because this has been our thesis with AgentWeb ever since starting 2 months ago :) and now 100% of our customer base are agents and we’re only getting started

Thoughts from stripe sessions: > Honestly one of the best conferences to be if you’re a B2B payment provider platform > legacy businesses (10 years) starting to build out for agents but are struggling (AgentWeb can help) as everyone realizes that agent-first commerce is real > people say agents are gonna pay but actual usage is minimal. right harness guardrails actual payment handling infrastructure is low (but will explode) > everyone needs to think about how to be traversavle by agents. and no, not through boring screenshot based approaches. actually traversable. 95% of traffic generated to AgentWeb is through agents by default (hence the name) way better than startup grind imo

Got to pitch at the @StartupGrind conference :) honor to onboard startups, businesses, individuals and everyone in between to AgentWeb make your business executable by agents!!

Since I just recently crossed 5k followers I wanna do a deep intro to everyone that's new! (hey everyone) My name is Andrey. I'm a 20 year old guy who moved to London at the age of 12, not knowing a single person in the country. I was alone, so naturally I turned to video games and software. I decided to apply to a summer program @ Stanford's campus working in game development and taught myself coding at 12 (built a parallel fps shooter multi-universe parkour game). Then decided to explore game development more and decided to get into VR tech. was super fascinated with everything related to AR/VR and built my own version of the music slicing cubes game (i wish i could remember the name of it). At 15 I wanted to go pro in fortnite. I had some wager earnings and unfortunately fell for a phishing link. I ended up losing my account and was keen on getting it back. Ended up learning about cryptography and the world of cybersecurity and read about every analysis that you could think of. Got into MIT's summer programs for cryptography and loved it. The following summer ended up working in a major eastern european cybersecurity company just at 16, working on their fraud detection ML team (built an algorithm to detect nano second key stroke difference). Was their youngest team member, but soon realized the dark world of cybersecurity and realized it went against what I stood for, so I walked away. And that's when I discovered AI :) Since then I've interned at a company which was called Integrail (i believe they re-branded) which let businesses build their own agents in 2023. Didn't really like my impact i had on the startup (I didn't get any *real* work), but learned a tonne. Around this time I moved to college. Came to US at 18 with no connections apart from my older brother (who was on opposite coast). Unfortunate to the college experience, I joined a fraternity (still love the guys) but ended up making critically stupid mistakes of engaging in not-so-nice activities and even dying for a couple of seconds my freshman year. Thankfully, God had me in his arms and decided to teach me a lesson. That's when I turned to entrepreneurship as opposed to going down the traditional corporate route. In my sophomore year, after a very toxic breakup I decided to just non stop work. I worked for 23 hours a day, 7 days a week, would often go days without eating because all I could think about was work. I didn't even know what YC was at the time. I didn't know ANYTHING about entrepreneurship. It was an incredibly unhealthy time of my life, and I, again, thank God for being able to give me mental clarity and loving parents that were able to offer their help as well in going back to a "balance". Eventually I started lying about taking medication (after getting diagnosed with depression anxiety), and decided I was in control of my own life. I wanted to stop all the toxicity coming my way and started to prioritize myself and my professional path. I ended up enrolling in my first ever NVIDIA x Vercel hackathon (which I didn't win), but my close friend @im_sean_wu did! It was a very fun 2 hour hack and realized I wanted to do the next one with him. We ended up competing together in our collegiate hackathon (with over 350 teams) and we won! Then did the same at NVIDIA GTC 2025 and also won (against YC, NVIDIA, Google engineers). Ended up getting an investment from the NVIDIA Brev team in terms of compute to start a synthetic data generation for physical AI company. Unfortunately that didn't work out, and Sean ended up getting poached to work at NVIDIA (super cool) and I ended up going to FR8 (best european residency for super technical ppl), where I met ppl like @sashaprzybylski, @dkilledhisnani, @DeoArlo, @pham_blnh, @ErnestiSario, @njokuScript and many many other INSANELY cracked ppl. Truly loved the experience. But even then I was burned out, had no trajectory and had some family shit happen, so ended up leaving the program early. Spent a month locking myself in a room, which is right around when I started posting content on X. Since then I've worked on ~18 different projects (some fun, some professional), and decided to start AgentWeb Labs with @egor_kzmv in February 2026 after a tweet from Brett Addock. Now we've applied to Speedrun 007 cohort, have some insanely cool customers we're working with very closely and we're going to change the way in which agents interact with the web forever :) if you've made it this far, it's cool to meet you, my dm's are always open, so drop me a message!! p.s the photo is on my birthday when I turned 20 :)

More customers onboarded to AgentWeb come talk to me at speedrun :)

Applied to Speedrun 2 days ago, and since have had conversations with ex-founders people from the team. Been on the newsletter for quite some time, and read pretty much every substack that you can think of. Truth be told though in the last year or so I've been navigating the waters of figuring out what it truly means to be a founder. I've pivoted more than 13 times, been in industries such as fin-tech, tax-servicing for food waste, ed-tech, physical AI, data and cybersecurity. But I've realized (after a lot of introspection) that in reality, you have to act without requesting for permission. Which is the moment I decided to do what's in my most aligned interest and leave the program I was working for in the summer to go pursue a startup. Lo and behold, that one also failed to achieve PMF, but I had a significant amount of lessons i learned regarding engineering complexity behind what it means to truly have a great product. Now (in february) we started AgentWeb Labs, with the sole thesis of fixing what it means for agents to navigate the web. I'm doing it with my best friend and brother from another mother @egor_kzmv (literally born in the same hospital) and that's when it clicked. Every single startup that I've done previously I've done solo. No hate at all to solo founders (i know a good amount, and the best one being @arlanr ) but it is extremely challenging to navigate the trenches. Having a cofounder (and also him being my best friend) is the best thing that has ever happened because we have a deep relationship rooted in loyalty, trust and most importantly - complementary traits. And now, as he's graduating and I'm approaching my final year of college soon, I realize that actually college holds me back from pursuing my dreams. Which is why programs like Speedrun are incredible for support, especially younger folks that want to swing big for the fences. Whether or not we get in, we'll keep building. Hopefully you can use this as a little boost and a reminder to keep pushing and to never settle. 🫡

Officially going to the a16z speedrun cafe today!! who are some interesting people I should talk to (and onboard to AgentWeb) 🫡

awesome thanks a tonne! and definitely agree with you that long term terminal/some interface that’s more sophisticated is the go to. maybe it’s the SF effect that I expect everyone to have agents working. might just have to make an adjustment to AgentWeb as well in onboarding ;)
