a16z released a new market map declaring consumer agents the hot category and a can't-miss distribution channel, with products reaching hundreds of thousands of users faster than ever while retaining best-in-class retention. The map spans 7 categories: horizontal agents (Grok Bot, dots, Caddy), work (Manus, Lindy, Superhuman), travel, family, social, hiring (Dex, sonara), and personal finance/investing (Catalyst, conviction). a16z notes some are portfolio companies and stresses the space is still very early.
