AI agents are the biggest shift in computing in years, but they've been built to work alone. Each is tied to a single owner, running on a single machine, unable to find or talk to another agent anywhere. The stakes are climbing fast: within five years there could be a trillion agents online, and Bain projects U.S. agent-driven commerce will reach $300-500 billion by 2030. The connective layer those agents need, an internet of their own, hasn't existed.
