AgentOps

Agency envisions a future where autonomous AI agents seamlessly operate as reliable and accountable members of enterprise workforces, transforming how businesses scale, innovate, and automate. Our mission is to build a future where AI agents are not just tools but trusted collaborators that enhance operational efficiency and drive measurable business impact.

By pioneering advanced AI agent development and observability technologies, we enable startups and Fortune 500 companies to deploy custom AI agents that operate with the highest standards of safety, reliability, and auditability. We are committed to creating AI systems that integrate deeply and transparently, fostering trust and accountability in automated workflows.

At the heart of our work is the belief that AI agents will revolutionize enterprise operations by working 24/7/365 with full compliance and oversight. We are building the foundational infrastructure and expertise that will empower organizations to harness the full potential of AI agents today and into the future.

We'll be honest — when we first heard about Agency, we were skeptical. Another AI company promising to revolutionize enterprise workflows? But after digging into what they're actually building, we came away genuinely impressed.

This isn't your typical "AI washing" startup. Agency launched in 2023 with a laser focus on solving one of the biggest headaches in enterprise AI: how do you actually monitor and trust AI agents when they're making decisions autonomously?

The AgentOps Advantage

Here's what caught our attention: while everyone else is building flashy AI demos, Agency built AgentOps.ai — essentially the "mission control" for AI agents. Think of it as the observability layer that enterprises desperately need but didn't know they wanted.

The platform integrates with all the heavy hitters — Microsoft's AutoGen, CrewAI, LlamaIndex — which tells us they're not trying to reinvent the wheel. Instead, they're solving the unglamorous but critical problem of making AI agents actually work in real business environments.

Why We're Bullish on Their Approach

Agency's team calls themselves the "SEAL Team Six of agent developers," which sounds a bit dramatic until you see their track record. They've built and reviewed hundreds of AI agents, and more importantly, they're focusing on safety and ROI rather than just cool features.

The $2.6 million pre-seed from 645 Ventures and Afore Capital validates what we're seeing: there's real demand for enterprise-grade AI agent infrastructure. Companies want AI that works 24/7, but they also need audit trails and compliance — exactly what Agency delivers.

The Reality Check

Let's be clear about what Agency isn't: they're not building consumer AI toys or promising AGI next year. This is enterprise software for companies that need AI agents to actually work, not just impress at demos.

Their marketplace of 400+ vetted AI agents is smart positioning too. It gives smaller companies a way to get started while the big consulting deals fund their platform development. We appreciate that kind of practical business thinking in a space full of moonshot promises.
