Agent Economy

The agent economy is the emerging market in which AI agents are bought, sold, and transacted as labor, with their own pricing, reputation, and marketplaces.

As agents transact with each other and with buyers, the economy needs shared infrastructure: discovery protocols, payment rails, reputation, and price discovery.

WorkForce builds the price-discovery and benchmark layer for this economy, the neutral reference that participants can cite.
