There's a new class of customer who's eager to buy.
But most companies don't sell to them. In fact, they block them from buying.
The new customers: AI Agents.
Google shut down one of my Gmail accounts when I connected it to OpenClaw, the AI agent. Gmail is very anti-bots.
That’s the way the internet has worked for years.
But AI is changing all that. And legacy companies aren’t keeping up.
So, on Tuesday, AgentMail announced that they raised $6 million to build email specifically for agents.
I'm noticing a few of my friends and interviewees are creating software specifically for AI agents.
Moltbook - Created a social network for AI agents. On Tuesday, Meta acquired it.
Proof - On Wednesday, it launched as a Google Doc alternative that’s meant for people to use with their AI agents.
Convos - On Sunday, the founder of this private chat platform showed me an unreleased version of its chat, which allows AI agents who work for different people/companies to talk with each other.
Postiz - This social media scheduling tool took off because it focused on enabling agents to use it.
Honestly, most of this is too early for me to report big revenue numbers. But if you’re reading this, you’re the kind of founder who loves hearing about trends like this early.
And there are some early wins.
Here’s an example of a company that’s taking off.
That's Postiz's revenue.
Did you notice that sharp revenue increase?
That's when the founder started courting AI agents.
Postiz was a very boring business in a crowded space. Loads of apps enable people to schedule their posts to LinkedIn, X, etc.
But if you ask your OpenClaw AI agent to create social posts for you, other scheduling apps won’t let the agent use them.
Postiz encouraged agents.
What Postiz’s founder discovered about agents:
It’s a lot easier than it seems to make software easy for agents to use. Much of the work was done by Claude Code.
Agents are valuable users. Where humans are inconsistent users of Postiz, agents are machines. They’re consistent.
I interviewed the founder of Postiz about how to create software that’s meant for agents.

PS As you know, I live in Austin now. SXSW just came into town. I’m going to hit up a bunch of events to meet builders in person. But I thought you’d like to see the current Austin vibe:
