The Platform of Platforms
The State of Agents (Part 5/6) argues the “platform of platforms” cannot be built on APIs alone. It needs a ledger for shared state, audit trails, and settlement, so agents coordinate on verified state, not message passing.

We share some thoughts on the Cyberhaven 2026 AI Adoption & Risk Report, and view this from the lens of AI Accountability.
The State of Agents (Part 4/6) shifts the conversation from the technical (Architecture/Safety) to the financial (ROI/Business Value), directly addressing the "Pilot Purgatory" that most enterprises are currently experiencing.
"HR for bots" is a management trap. Adding agents increases entropy, not just throughput. To build systems that actually work, we need to move from "chat" to "state" and treat AI output as a claim to be settled, not an answer to be trusted. Stop scaling chaos and start building protocols.
Trust (in AI agents) must be engineered, not implied. This is what we refer to as "Agent Physics".
The State of Agents (Part 3/6) shifts the focus from what agents do (Skills/Agency) to how we govern them. We believe the current trend of "AI Supervisors" doesn't make sense, and explain why we think "Physics for Agents" is the superior safety model.
The State of Agents (Part 2/6): Why "Self Empowerment" is a consumer fantasy, and true agency requires authority to act.
The State of Agents (Part 1/6): Why we need to stop writing prompts and start using Agent Physics to engineer agents with skills that can perform work based on the state of real-world systems.
Agents are getting cheaper by the week. Coordination is not. Especially when this needs to happen across organisational domains and institutional boundaries, or within functional teams using AI agents.
