Your AI Agent Needs an Operating Environment. Who's Engineering It?
Original: Your AI Agent Needs an Operating Environment. Who’s Engineering It?
AI agents require a dedicated operating environment—the infrastructure layer that manages their memory, tools, permissions and coordination—much as applications once needed operating systems. The piece argues this layer is now the critical missing piece of enterprise AI, and asks which companies or engineers will own its construction, raising questions about standards, vendor lock-in and where value will accrue in the agent economy.
Why now: Companies are racing to deploy autonomous AI agents and are realizing the supporting infrastructure layer is undefined and contested.
