How this list is compiled
Every company here has public evidence that it builds AI agents: its own product pages, engineering job descriptions, code repositories or launch listings. Each is checked against the same rule before it is listed, and "last verified" is the month that check last ran. Companies that only use AI, or mention agents without building them, are left out. Each company is assigned one industry it builds for (or cross-industry) and one main job its agents do.
The evidence behind each company, its sources, scores and filters, and CSV export are part ofAgent Signals.
