As I look toward the future of artificial intelligence, it’s clear that AI agents will serve as the cornerstone of the next era of business. These agents will fundamentally reshape how companies operate, interact with customers, and create value. This transformation will occur within a structured framework of three distinct layers: the foundation layer, the middle layer, and the top layer, each playing a pivotal role in the evolution of AI-driven businesses.
Foundation Layer: Commoditization of LLMs
The foundation layer of this new AI-driven world revolves around the commoditization of Large Language Models (LLMs). As these models continue to evolve, they will become standardized and widely accessible, laying the groundwork for the development of intelligent agents. However, while the foundation layer will be essential, it won’t be the defining factor of AI’s future.
The real innovation will come in the middle layer, where services and platforms will significantly improve the efficiency and accessibility of building and deploying AI agents.
Middle Layer: The Rise of Platforms
In the middle layer, service companies will initially take the lead by helping businesses build AI agents tailored to their specific needs. These services will be crucial for enterprises in sectors like customer support, operations, and logistics. However, in the next 1-2 years, I believe we’ll see the rise of platforms that enable anyone to create their own AI agent simply by describing their Core Objective Function (CoF) in plain English.
These platforms will dramatically change the game. They’ll allow anyone—regardless of their technical expertise—to build sophisticated AI agents. Entrepreneurs will be able to describe their business needs, such as improving customer support, managing finances, or optimizing supply chains, and the platform will generate an AI agent tailored to those needs. This will lower the barriers to entry, enabling businesses and creators to innovate faster and build businesses around their agents.
This shift will be a game-changer. Platforms will enable rapid prototyping, faster scaling, and the ability to customize AI agents for any industry. With these platforms, creating the next billion-dollar business could be as simple as describing a problem and letting the platform build the agent.
Top Layer: Specialized Agents Serving End Customers
At the top layer, we’ll see companies leveraging specialized AI agents that serve end customers in highly specific domains. An example of this is Medpredict, a company developing an AI agent specifically designed to diagnose diseases accurately.
As I see it, this is just the beginning of a new era of AI-driven entrepreneurship.
