We’re entering a turning point in technological history one that doesn’t merely enhance the digital tools we use, but fundamentally reshapes how the internet works. As autonomous AI agents begin to think, coordinate, and act on our behalf, a new paradigm is forming: the Agent Economy.

This shift is drawing global attention. Fetch.ai and our leadership team were recently featured in a new documentary series by Accumen Media, hosted on CNBC, which explores the rise of agentic AI and the companies defining this next era. The episode highlights how intelligence is moving from centralized platforms to dynamic, interconnected networks of agents signals of a transformation already underway.
We are witnessing the dawn of a new digital era, the Age of Agents. Just as the early internet connected information, and Web2 connected people, this next evolution connects intelligence itself.
In this new world, digital agents autonomous, proactive entities powered by AI don’t just execute commands; they think, negotiate, and act on our behalf. They coordinate tasks, manage transactions, and continuously learn from their interactions.
This is the Agent Economy, and Fetch.ai is its backbone.
At the center of this shift stands Humayun Sheikh, Founder and CEO of Fetch.ai and a founding investor in Google’s DeepMind, the company that laid the groundwork for modern artificial intelligence.
Sheikh’s vision has always been rooted in a simple but profound belief: intelligence should not be centralized it should be distributed and accessible to all. Fetch.ai is the realization of that vision, building the world’s first open platform where autonomous agents represent people, businesses, and devices in a living, self-evolving digital ecosystem.
Just as Google made web content discoverable, Fetch.ai makes agents discoverable, interoperable, and actionable. Its infrastructure enables agents to:
The result: isolated systems become part of an intelligent, interconnected network.
We’re moving toward a world where your personal agent:
all while coordinating in real time with other agents and systems.
At the consumer level, ASI:One, Fetch.ai’s flagship product for agentic AI, represents a personal, memory-rich LLM that is truly yours.
Unlike regular chatbots, ASI:One:
This creates a network of autonomous collaborators that expands its usefulness as it learns and connects with more agents.
Agentverse, Fetch.ai’s discovery engine and marketplace for agents, powers this connectivity.
Developers can:
Crucially, agents from Agentverse can connect directly with ASI:One, enabling users to access, combine, and deploy nearly 3 million active agents seamlessly transforming ASI:One into a gateway for the open, intelligent agentic economy.
Flockx, another flagship application, showcases agent coordination in the real world connecting people, devices, and services dynamically without centralized control.
Fetch.ai has driven real-world impact through collaborations with long-standing partners such as Bosch, which has worked with both Fetch.ai and the Fetch.ai Foundation to explore autonomous agents for:
These efforts enable legacy devices and infrastructure to collaborate more intelligently.
Other major industry partners include:
These organizations are leveraging Fetch.ai’s intelligent agents to:
By integrating agentic technology, they can optimize logistics, improve efficiency, and create more adaptive, data-driven systems proof that agent-based AI is moving from pilot concepts to tangible business impact.
As Humayun Sheikh describes it, this is the moment AI becomes useful at scale. Just as DeepMind pioneered AI that could learn, Fetch.ai is pioneering agents that can act, communicate, and evolve together.
The takeaway is clear: the internet is becoming intelligent.
By enabling agents to:
Fetch.ai is building the infrastructure for the Agent Economy and redefining how we work, live, and interact online.
