AI agent market is fragmenting faster than I expected

Back in the day every startup was building some version of a generic AI copilot. And the pitch was always the same. One agent to rule them all, works for every team, every use case. But I feel that's not really what's happening anymore. The market is quietly fragmenting into something way more specific. You've got companies like 11x and Artisan going all in on sales. Decagon and Sierra doing support. Moveworks is focused on the IT automation space. Glean is doing knowledge. And then there's a whole other category of platforms like Lyzr, Relevance AI and others that are less "we replace your SDR team" and more "build whatever agent your enterprise needs." And most people talk about all of these companies as if they're in the same market. They all use the same buzzwords, they show up at the same conferences, and write the same thought leadership. But the actual problems they're solving are completely different. Different buyers with very different workflows. Now it's just the SaaS market playing out again. We went from generic productivity software to CRM software, support software, HR software, IT software. Now we're doing the same thing but with agents. The part that I am interested in is what happens next. Do the vertical players get so entrenched that horizontal platforms never get a real foothold, or does some layer eventually emerge that all of these get built on top of? Not sure which way it goes. But that feels like the real bet being made right now across the whole space.
