These products provide frameworks, middleware, routing, and guardrails to build, connect, and deploy autonomous AI agents. They are primarily adopted by software developers and engineering teams creating complex agentic workflows. Unlike generic LLM API providers or end-user productivity assistants, this cluster focuses on the operational plumbing, integrations, and governance required to run agents reliably.
