AI Agents: What Do They Do?
These are autonomous programs capable of analyzing, learning, interacting, and even replacing humans. You can find them in finance, analytics, DeFi, marketing, investments, and even social media.
AI Agents Already Making Money:
- Fetch.ai (FET) – a platform developing AI agents to optimize logistics, energy systems, and DeFi solutions. Market cap: $1.8 billion.
- Cortex – a protocol enabling the creation and integration of predictive analytics on the blockchain. As of February 23, 2025, Cortex (CTXC) had a market cap of $41.30 million, though it’s now fluctuating – nearly $33.98 million as of 04.03. 2025.
- SingularityNET (AGIX) – an AI solutions marketplace where developers can sell AI models. Market cap: nearly $115 million.
These projects demonstrate that AI agents are a new tool already generating revenue and actively integrating into Web3. They adapt easily to any platform, can blend in as real users, and are becoming an essential part of our daily lives.
