The Verge reports that ahead of its 2026 DevDay, OpenAI has fallen behind in the industry's hottest category: continuously running, consumer-facing AI agents. On Tuesday it will likely attempt to seize the lead with a rumored agent called Aeon — its answer to Meta's Muse, SpaceX's Grok Bot, the open-source OpenClaw and others. The piece argues Aeon would need to combine the best features of competing platforms, such as OpenClaw's usefulness at competitive cost, to win. Full analysis at The Verge.
