AI agent infrastructure
Agentuity
Agentuity provides cloud infrastructure for developers and companies building and running AI agents. Its platform combines application deployment, databases and storage, an AI Gateway, isolated sandboxes for executing untrusted code, and observability. Teams can connect agents to React frontends, email, chat platforms and scheduled jobs, inspect prompts and costs through OpenTelemetry traces, and run evaluations on production traffic. These services support operating complete applications beyond individual model calls.
Founded in Austin, Texas, in 2025, Agentuity was created by Jeff Haynie, Rick Blalock, Matthew Congrove, Robin Diddams and Bobby Christopher. Haynie serves as CEO and previously co-founded and led Appcelerator. Its engineering approach emphasizes infrastructure rather than a prescribed agent framework: Agentuity v3 replaced its dedicated runtime and agent abstractions with a CLI and standalone service packages. Developers retain their application structure and framework while adding services such as storage, observability and sandboxes.
Agentuity raised $4 million in seed funding in 2025, led by Boldstart Ventures, with Bloomberg Beta, Southern Equity and OneSixOne Ventures participating. A 2026 company case study illustrates commercial use: Unburdn built an outbound prospecting workflow for G2i that discovers hiring signals and delivers reviewed opportunities in Slack. The company reported roughly 10–15 qualified leads per run during the pilot, with G2i estimating an approximately 10% outreach response rate.

Messages from the stage
Infrastructure beyond execution limits
Blalock identifies timeouts, networking limitations, and operational complexity as obstacles to running agents on conventional serverless infrastructure. His demonstration brings routing, access controls, deployment, and observability into the same operational workflow.
Agent fluency as an organizational capability
Blalock argues that making agents foundational to a company changes more than its toolset. He connects human orchestration of AI coworkers with hiring, organizational structure, and emerging agent-management roles.
