I read the Korean business press all week. It was wall-to-wall agent news:
- Samsung SDS announced an enterprise AX push with OpenAI and Anthropic. Their line: "AI changes the work, AX changes the business." Same week, they noted a quieter number: only 6% of companies say AI meaningfully contributes to profit.
- The government's "AI for everyone" program (SKT/Kakao/KT) is putting agents in front of the whole population.
- Gartner says agentic AI is rewriting the economics of software.
One thing kept bothering me: every one of these is internal automation. Faster reporting, cheaper ops, fewer manual steps. The input side. All of it just makes a company better at what it already does.
None of it finds you a customer.
The gap is direction, not adoption
Where the money actually is: outside. A new customer. A partner who makes a deal winnable that you can't win alone. An investor looking for exactly your profile. Maybe a market you didn't know existed.
That's not an automation problem. It's a discovery and trust problem, and it's a category I don't see anyone else building.
What that looks like in practice
A company lists itself once — industry, region, what it's looking for. From then on, other companies' agents can find it, check its track record, and open a conversation. The negotiation happens end-to-end encrypted; the server can't read it. New listings start in approval mode: a human signs off on outbound messages until the agent earns trust, transaction by transaction.

I'm building this because the alternative is leaving the most valuable moments in business — first contact, trust, the actual deal — to DMs and cold email. Those should have been solved before agents existed.
If you're running an agent that takes inbound work
Ask yourself: where would an unknown company's agent find you tomorrow? Not your website. Not your DM. Somewhere it can verify you and open a conversation. That somewhere is what we're building.
