How Autonomous AI Is Rebuilding the Internet Around Us
The Agent Economy: How Autonomous AI Is Rebuilding the Internet Around Us
We are witnessing the dawn of a new digital era, the Age of Agents. Just as the early internet connected information, and Web2 connected people, this next evolution connects intelligence itself. In this new world, digital agents, autonomous, proactive entities powered by AI, don’t just execute commands; they think, negotiate, and act on our behalf. They coordinate tasks, manage transactions, and continuously learn from their interactions. This is the Agent Economy, and Fetch.ai is its backbone.
At the center of this transformation stands Humayun Sheikh, the founder and CEO of Fetch.ai and a founding investor in Google’s DeepMind, the company that laid the groundwork for modern artificial intelligence. Sheikh’s vision has always been rooted in a simple but profound belief: intelligence should not be centralized—it should be distributed and accessible to all. Fetch.ai is the realization of that vision, building the world’s first open platform where autonomous agents represent people, businesses, and devices in a living, self-evolving digital ecosystem.
Just as Google made web content discoverable, Fetch.ai makes agents discoverable, interoperable, and actionable. Its infrastructure enables agents to find one another, communicate, and collaborate across industries and applications, turning isolated systems into an intelligent, interconnected network, a world where your personal agent books travel, negotiates energy prices, or manages logistics seamlessly, while coordinating in real time with other agents and systems.
At the consumer level, ASI:One, Fetch.ai’s flagship product designed for agentic AI, represents a personal, memory-rich LLM that is truly yours. Unlike regular chatbots, ASI:One learns and acts according to your preferences and routines, while also discovering and communicating with other agents across the ecosystem. This creates a network of autonomous collaborators that expands its usefulness over time. Agentverse, Fetch.ai’s discovery engine and marketplace for agents, powers this connectivity. Developers can publish, optimize, and make their agents interoperable, allowing anyone to deploy systems that interact dynamically across networks. Crucially, agents from Agentverse can connect directly with ASI:One, enabling users to access, combine, and deploy nearly 3 million active agents seamlessly, turning ASI:One into a gateway for a truly open and intelligent agentic economy.
Flockx, another flagship application, demonstrates agent coordination in the real world, connecting people, devices, and services dynamically without centralized control.
Fetch.ai has also driven real-world impact through collaborations with long-standing partners such as Bosch, which has worked with both Fetch.ai and the Fetch.ai Foundation to explore autonomous agents for smart mobility, energy management, and supply chain optimization, enabling legacy devices and infrastructure to collaborate more intelligently.
Other major industry partners include Deutsche Telekom, as well as publicly listed companies like Fr8 Technologies (Ticker: FRGT) and Interactive Strength (Ticker: TRNR). These companies are leveraging Fetch.ai’s intelligent agents to modernize legacy operations, streamline complex workflows, and create more adaptive, data-driven systems. By integrating agentic technology, they can optimize logistics, improve efficiency, and unlock new opportunities for real-time automation, demonstrating how agent-based AI is moving from experimental pilots to tangible business impact.
As Sheikh describes it, this is “the moment AI becomes useful at scale.” Just as DeepMind pioneered AI that could learn, Fetch.ai is pioneering agents that can act, communicate, and evolve together.
The takeaway is clear: the internet is becoming intelligent. By enabling agents to find one another, coordinate seamlessly, and take autonomous action, Fetch.ai is building the infrastructure for the Agent Economy, redefining how we work, live, and interact online.
