For approximately the last year and a half, people have repeatedly described the current year as the year of AI agents.

“there's this this whole wave is driven by a combination of some small group of people understanding what is possible from this technology in a way larger group of people driven by FOMO and by the way FOMO isn't bad it creates some forward momentum but it also means that people will latch onto the things that are most in the zeitgeist I guess now for the last year and a half people have been saying it's the year of the agent or however long”
