Launch Partner Invitation
Background Agent Infrastructure Landscape

An independent resource mapping the background agents ecosystem. Launched in late February and gained traction organically. Notable endorsements from Charity Majors (CTO, Honeycomb), Karri Sagar (CTO, Ramp), and others. We're seeing people actively sharing it, referring to it in conversations, and engaging deeply with the topic.

We want to build on the project as a community project. Those reading it resonated with the problem definition, but wanted to take next steps with solutions. So we're now releasing a tooling landscape — a map of vendors across the background agent stack.

Tens of thousands of page views since launch. Audience is deeply engaged — not casual browsers. 30% of all site visitors read the entire page. People are sharing it organically on social media, sending it to colleagues, and reaching out via DMs to discuss the content.


What's launching: the background agent infrastructure landscape

An interactive map of every tool and vendor across the background agent stack — similar to the CNCF landscape. The categories below are provisional. We're looking for launch partners to help shape what those categories are and which tools sit within them.

Base Agent
The reasoning engine
Sandbox
Where agents execute
Context
What agents know
Orchestration
Coordination across agents
Evals
Measuring output quality
Interface
How agents get invoked
Models
Foundation LLMs
Governance
Cross-cutting concerns

Without a launch partnership
  • No guaranteed placement — we may include your tool based on public information, but inclusion is not assured
  • No control over your tool description — drafted by us, cannot be customised
  • No input on landscape categories or structure
  • No opportunity to publish content on the microsite
  • No role in shaping the future direction of the project
  • No coordinated launch day amplification

Next steps

If you'd like to be involved, just confirm and we'll take it from there. We'll share a media kit, a listing form for your tool details, and everything you need for launch day. Let us know if you'd like a feedback call to walk through the landscape, or if you'd prefer to just receive it when it's ready.

Virtual Summit

Recorded sessions, panels, and architecture walkthroughs with companies building agent infrastructure — Stripe, Ramp, Spotify, Uber, and others. The landscape is the map. The summit is the "how to get started." Launch partners get priority involvement.
