Artificial intelligence has already successfully established itself as the present and future of the tech industry. The next step in the segment could be AI agents, which big companies are already working on. Now, an emerging name with familiar faces is developing an operating system for AI agents.
\nYou could see AI agents as advanced versions of current AI assistants and chatbots. The main difference is that AI agents are capable of \u201cmaking decisions\u201d autonomously. To do so, they constantly analyze information from the environment. Being AI-based developments, they can \u201clearn\u201d as they process data and execute tasks to achieve more efficient ways of achieving specific goals. Developers of AI assistants have expressed their intentions to turn them into AI agents in the future.
\nFormer Android devs want to develop the core operating system for AI agents
\nA startup named \u201c\/dev\/agents\u201d is currently competing to create the operating system that will power the AI agents of the future. Hugo Barra, a former Vice President of Android product management at Google, is one of its prominent figures. Barra also worked at Xiaomi and was the leader of Facebook\u2019s Oculus VR team.
\nDavid Singleton, a former Vice President of Engineering for Android, is the cofounder and CEO of \/dev\/agents. Ficus Kirkpatrick, CTO of the startup, was an Android engineer and VP of AR and VR at Meta. Nicholas Jitkoff, a former member of the ChromeOS design team, has also joined the team as the chief design officer.
\nThe CEO of the new player in the AI segment says the industry needs \u201can Android-like moment for AI.\u201d In other words, the industry requires a common platform from which others can easily build. \u201cWe can see the promise of AI agents, but as a developer, it\u2019s just too hard to build anything good,\u201d Singleton said. After all, developing a competitive AI-based tool can require quite a bit of work and investment.<\/p>\n

Excited to announce my new company: \/dev\/agents. I\u2019m building the next-gen operating system for AI agents, joining my former colleagues @hbarra, @alcor, and @ficus as co-founders. We’re excited to partner with @ninaachadjian (Index Ventures) and @jillchase124 (CapitalG).\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/N9Br7fHUKL

A platform that everyone can develop on; the \u201cAndroid\u201d of AI agents
\n\/dev\/agents aims to provide its own operating system for AI agents in an effort to simplify the process for developers. The company says the OS will be cloud-based, making it easier to use on almost any internet-connected hardware. In fact, Singleton made clear the cross-platform approach of the OS. He said on X that the project is intended \u201cfor trusted agents to work with users across all of their devices.\u201d
\nThere are no specific dates yet for the first version of the \/dev\/agents product. There\u2019s an official website where you can follow the progress of the project, learn more about the company, and even check out the \u201cjobs\u201d section.
