The Problem

There are now thousands of AI agents being built by indie developers, small studios, and AI startups. There's an explosion of supply. On the other side, millions of European SMBs know they need to "use AI" but have no idea how to evaluate, deploy, or manage AI agents for their specific workflows.

The current landscape is fragmented chaos:

  • For buyers: Finding the right AI agent means trawling GitHub, Product Hunt, Twitter, and dozens of niche marketplaces. There's no Trustpilot for AI agents. Quality varies wildly. Integration is a nightmare.
  • For creators: Building agents is getting easier, but distribution is hard. Most indie agent builders have no marketing budget. They build great tools that nobody discovers.

This is the classic marketplace problem: a perfect two-sided gap. The buyer can't find what they need. The seller can't reach their audience.
