Asteroid security / enterprise
Medium impactAsteroid merged its Vault and Agent Profiles into one Logins page that holds every account its browser agents sign in as, including groups of interchangeable logins for the same portal. The workflow builder adds a Runs as control that limits which logins each workflow may use, and the API gains matching routes while the old vault and profile paths are deprecated.

Automat AI agent capability
High impactAutomat made Ace, the AI teammate in its Automat Workforce product, generally available. Ace gets its own computer, email address, phone number and accounts, takes requests over Slack, Teams, email, SMS, WhatsApp and phone, and does the work inside browser and desktop tools rather than through integrations. It logs every action, handles small reversible tasks alone and asks a designated manager before anything consequential.

How this ranking works. Each vendor's Agentic Index coverage score is the sum of its verified feature scores across the 14 buyer facing capabilities in the Agentic Index taxonomy, researched from public sources. Full support counts 1.0, partial support counts 0.5, and ties are broken alphabetically. A low score means less documented coverage in public materials, not a definitive absence of capability. The buyer need block above is computed from the same scores, taking the subset of criteria each need depends on. No vendor pays for placement.
