An AI-native CRM where you dump your sales process as a prompt and agents work off it, not a fixed schema. The pitch: a year ago you'd have used Zoho or Salesforce, now you have the entire workflow specified in plain text — why hardcode it when the prompt itself can be the system, especially since a business is a living object that changes weekly. Agents handle the basic email/SMS integrations and update the prompt as the funnel evolves. New funnel = update the prompt, not migrate fields.

An agent that stays the same person across sessions. The unsolved gap is between memory and continuity: memory without continuity is just retrieval, personality without continuity is a mask. Nobody is shipping the part where the agent is actually the same identity across conversations. With every Claude Code/Codex/OpenClaw user complaining about context loss, this is becoming a productized layer rather than a research direction.

A climate data commons. Most of the world's emissions data is locked in PDFs — billions of dollars of measurement that nobody can query. The real climate-tech problem isn't measuring carbon; it's that we can't access what's already measured. Build the commons that turns the PDF graveyard into a usable API, and every climate startup downstream becomes possible.

Agents that own services and subsystems, not just issues and tasks. The current generation of dev agents takes a ticket, ships a PR, exits. The next layer is an agent that's persistently responsible for an entire subsystem — its reliability, its on-call, its refactors, its dependencies — instead of one task at a time. Logical evolution and likely a 2026 pattern.

Tooling for the 525,000 minutes between healthcare appointments. The 10-minute consultation isn't the problem; what's missing is the agent layer that lives with you between visits — tracking symptoms, adherence, lifestyle, escalation triggers — instead of the doctor seeing a snapshot. The healthcare AI conversation today is all about the consultation slot; the actual leverage is the negative space around it.

An agent reputation/trust layer. With predictions of 70 billion AI agents this decade, the question shifts from what they replace to who they trust. Nobody is building the substrate that lets one agent decide whether to act on what another agent says. Identity + reputation infrastructure for an agent population is downstream of every multi-agent prediction but no one has named the unit yet.

PQC migration tooling for banks. India just mandated quantum-readiness for financial systems and 16 funded startups have showed up — all hardware. None of them is building the boring middle layer that helps a bank inventory which systems use which crypto primitives and what they should change to. This is the SBOM equivalent for post-quantum, and the regulatory mandate creates the buying market.

Native LaTeX in Claude. Researchers are asking explicitly for an Anthropic + Overleaf integration that lets Claude understand and edit LaTeX in real time. Today they paste fragments back and forth and lose math context every round. Whoever ships first — Anthropic, Overleaf, or a third party as a wrapper — owns the academic writing workflow.

A 'directory' for weird AI products — the ThisIsWhyIAmBroke pattern but for AI tools. The original site never expanded to Reels or other channels and is now a frozen flywheel; the affiliate model where users themselves submit cool things has been dormant since 2020. Apply the formula to the AI product explosion and the audience is already inbound.

An autonomous agent payment/wallet primitive. Every AI company is building the brain; almost nobody is building the wallet. An agent that can think but can't pay is a smart window shopper. Stripe's MPP, Tempo's subscription access keys, and a handful of crypto rails are all converging on this — the unbundled question is who owns the standard for an agent's spending caps, recurring authorizations, and refund handling.

An open-source local-first AgentStack for orchestration. Today's coding agents are running shell commands, editing code, and opening PRs with effectively zero local guardrails. The need: one CLI for scanning, firewall policy, sandboxing, cost checks, and review — works standalone or as a kit on top of Codex/Claude/Gemini/OpenCode/Cursor/MCP. Outputs stay in local repo files, no hosted service. The orchestra layer is the actual AgentOps bottleneck.

A live AI debate analyzer. Track the actual flow of ideas during a conversation and flag where someone diverged from their own logic. Useful for podcasts, Twitter Spaces, and political debates — and the diff between this and current sentiment-only tools is that it would have to model arguments, not just tone. The hard part is the eval (how do you score 'this person changed positions'?) which is exactly the autoresearch space getting interesting.
