The strongest projects in the Spring 2026 AI Studio cohort go beyond generic AI interfaces. They focus on the missing infrastructure for agentic systems\u2014identity, trust, reputation, payments, evaluation, coordination, hardware control, knowledge routing, governance, and domain-specific workflows.<\/p>\n
The shift from AI \u2192 AI agents \u2192 the Agentic Web marks a deeper transition: from \u201cwhat can a model do?\u201d to \u201cwhat actions can an agent perform reliably?\u201d to \u201chow can agents coordinate\u2014and what infrastructure enables that ecosystem?\u201d<\/p>\n
