Competing AI Agents Feel Like Running a Dog Kennel Where Every Dog Wants the Same Job
soleio · x · 2026-10-02
Investor soleio describes the current state of agent products with a vivid analogy: competing bots and agents are getting faster and more proactive, making him feel like he's running a dog kennel — every dog wants to be alpha, every dog wants a job (often the same one), all barking for his attention, and new dogs show up every week.
The quip captures agent product homogenization and the emerging attention economy problem: as tools get more proactive, the user's attention becomes the scarce resource.
