Singularity Watch: Agents Just Crossed the Line
We’re in the age of agents now. Not “chat with a bot” AI, but
“give it a goal and it goes to work” AI. Foundational models are racing into
agents too. OpenAI has agent mode, Atlas browser, and Codex. Gemini has Project
Mariner, Opal, and AI Studio. Anthropic has Claude Code and Codex. And then
you’ve got the wild west side of it: OpenClaw, a local, open-source agent that
people are running on their own machines and controlling through everyday
messaging apps like Slack or WhatsApp.
The speed of this shift is difficult to wrap your mind around.
Gartner says 40% of enterprise apps will have task-specific AI agents by the
end of 2026, up from under 5% in 2025. Mark Zuckerberg went even bigger,
predicting we’ll see “more AI agents than there are people in the world” in a
short time.
Meanwhile, the OpenClaw community is already showing off
multi-agent setups, including “dream team” swarms with 14+ agents under one
orchestrator, as well as a an agent that autonomously created it's own phone
number and voice skills to call it's owner to say hi. It's also worth saying
out loud: when agents can run scripts and install skills, security gets real,
real fast. To be clear, open source projects like this should only be
experimented with by technical expertise.
It might sound dramatic, but this genuinely feels like an
inflection point. A year from now, or five, we’re going to look back at these
couple of months and recognize it as the moment our world changed forever. So
here’s the challenge: pick one repeating task you hate, something you do every
week, and start experimenting with an agent this month. If you don’t, your
competitors will.
