Conclusion

It’s unclear if the autonomous AI industry will ever reach true artificial general intelligence (AGI). Still, the advancement of AI agents has been impressive to watch in just a few years.

From single AI agents to multi-agent frameworks, there’s much to be excited about moving forward. It’s not far-fetched to think we could also see functional commercial AI agent platforms available by the end of 2024.

This list will be regularly updated with new AI agents. If you want to learn more, check out our list of LLMs and AI trends to stay current.
