The week in one lineThe agent signed in without ever seeing the password. Browserbase and Town handed the login step to 1Password, Island and Grok Bot built vaults the model never reads, and Inngest kept credentials out of the sandbox altogether. Between the agent and the approve button, Kiro, Gumloop and Composio each installed a second judge, so the agent now has a chaperone, and the chaperone is also an agent.

Agentic Index
The research index for AI agent platforms and tools.
Agentic Index is an independent agentic AI vendor research platform where buyers find and compare B2B AI agents: agentic AI platforms, autonomous workflow tools, coding agents, GTM agents, browser agents, and enterprise agentic automation products, with verified feature matrices and pricing research on 1,084 vendors. Structured for buyers, analysts, and operators.

SSmitherySmithery's connection management services shut down on October 31, 2026. Server URLs on run.tools and server.smithery.ai, the Smithery API, Connect and Toolbox, Smithery accounts and API keys, and the CLI and SDKs all stop working, with current CLI and SDK versions marked deprecated. What remains is a public directory of MCP servers, powered by Arcade.dev, that no longer proxies connections and lists each verified server's direct MCP URL.High

AAnthropic Claude CodeClaude Code 2.1.316 adds pooled group budgets to the Claude apps gateway, so a group's members share one monthly budget on top of each person's own limit. A new layered policy mode applies every gateway policy that matches a developer, merged in order, instead of only the first match. Bedrock upstreams can also tag prompts so an Amazon Bedrock guardrail's prompt attack filter can screen Claude Code traffic.Low

CCapyThe new Dock CLI in Capy 0.7.0 runs Capy without the desktop app, so a build server, cloud VM or spare Mac can host agent threads with the tools and credentials already on it. The same release moves Captains and Issues out of experiments and turns them on for every organization. A Captain directs a crew of threads, and Issues tracks the work they pick up, with blocking links, sub issues, labels, due dates and linked pull requests.High

BBrowser UseBU Ultrafast is open to every Browser Use Cloud plan in the US, including the free plan, and its waitlist is closed. Developers switch to it by setting the model to bu-ultrafast on a run, with no other model settings to tune. A companion option runs the same agent with more reasoning per step.Medium

The best agentic AI platforms in 2026
40 agentic AI platforms scoring 12.5 or higher out of 14 on the Agentic Index coverage score, drawn from 561 platforms across 1,084 researched vendors. Graded on documented public evidence only. No vendor pays for placement.
See the 40 best agentic AI platforms, ranked →Buying for an enterprise? Only 118 of those 561 platforms document all four enterprise governance capabilities in full: SOC 2, SSO and role based access control; self hosted or private VPC deployment; tracing and audit logging; and human approval before an agent acts. See which platforms meet enterprise security and compliance requirements →
Almost every one of them now sells an autonomous AI workforce. Only 25 document all six capabilities the phrase requires, and the binding constraint is not autonomy: 1,084 vendors in, only one platform in five documents that its agents carry memory between runs. See the best autonomous AI workforce platforms for enterprises →
Two claims get made on every vendor call and neither survives the evidence. Tool calling and Model Context Protocol support are sold as the same thing: 148 platforms document tool calling in full without documenting MCP, and only 142 clear MCP, tool calling and model flexibility together. See which AI agent platforms support Model Context Protocol tools →
Tracing and evaluation are sold as the same thing too: 194 platforms document observability in full without documenting any way to test the agent before it ships, and only 85 document testing, tracing and human oversight together. See which AI agent platforms give you tracing and observability in production →
Buying an AI SOC agent is the sharpest version of that same problem, because the response action is isolating a host. Of 86 agentic security operations vendors, 30 document an audit trail without documenting human oversight, so you can read what the agent did and not govern what it does next. Only 25 document the full investigation loop from alert to approved response. See the top rated vendors for alert triage and investigation →

AI code review that opens in a private sidebar beside the diff on GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps and Bitbucket, in the cloud or self hosted. The review engine pulls related files, linked issues and overlapping pull requests through its own tool calls, runs up to ten custom review agents in parallel, and posts a finding only when a reviewer clicks Post. An MCP server and a Cursor plugin bring the same review into coding assistants. Free with 30 credits a month, paid plans from $15.
View profile →Desktop browser for macOS and Windows with built in AI companions that work in the user's signed in tabs. They research, fill forms, source leads and candidates, draft outreach and update connected apps such as Gmail, HubSpot and Ashby. Companions remember context, run routines on schedules or app events, split large jobs across parallel sub agents, and ask before actions the user has not cleared. Nine ready made companions cover sales, recruiting, marketing and more. Free with 500 credits a month, paid plans from $20.
View profile →PepoChat answers website visitors from a business's own pages, documents, help articles, Notion and Google Drive, and says so when the answer is missing rather than guessing. Thirteen prebuilt integrations and custom HTTPS actions let it check Shopify, WooCommerce and Stripe records, file tickets in help desks and Jira, and alert Slack or Discord during the conversation. Each action declares which response fields the model may read. Escalated chats move to a shared team inbox where staff reply in the same window. The agent books meetings through a PepoSmart scheduling calendar and replies in the language the visitor writes in. Plans are metered by AI replies, starting with a free tier.
View profile →Microsoft Scout is a desktop agent for Windows and macOS that takes a request in conversation and carries it out across local files, the shell, a browser it controls and Microsoft 365, from Outlook and Teams to SharePoint and OneDrive. Heartbeat check ins and scheduled or condition triggered automations keep it working in the background, and subagents split research, builds and code review. Microsoft calls it its first Autopilot and builds it on OpenClaw. It is a Frontier preview that needs Microsoft 365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot licenses.

How we collect and verify data
The Agentic Index draws on independent research across 1,084 agentic AI vendors. Feature coverage is assessed from public documentation, product pages, and analyst materials. Each capability shows as Full, Partial or Not documented. Not documented means there is no sign of the capability in the product, often because it sits outside the product's scope. It is not a verdict on quality.
