Hiring AI Agents, Building AI Agents, and Startup Ideas

April 06, 2025

The newest kid on the block is also the most popular this week. We’ve seen the themes of building agents and startup ideas, but this is the first time the idea of hiring agents has been widely discussed on r/AI_Agents and it’s also the most highly voted post.

  1. Hiring Agents

    1. Great summary of their market research

    2. Who’s buying? startups, agencies, smbs

    3. Also covers the types of agents they’re buying, what their pain points are, and what they need (out of scope for our quick digest newsletter)

    4. Buying behavior: start small, scale fast, no per-seat pricing

  2. Agents with Pydantic AI + LangGraph

    1. I thought there would be code in this post, but it’s more of a high level overview

    2. Thorough overview though, good intro to the conceptual side of things

    3. Sort comments by top to find the OP’s youtube video

  3. AI Agent Startup Ideas

    1. OP mentions 10 frameworks you can use

    2. Honestly, these are great frameworks for not just agents, but startups in general, it just so happens that agents manage to unlock the ease of doing many of these

    3. The one most empowered by AI Agents is probably “the expert who’s a bottleneck”

  1. Dockerized Agents

    1. idk, there’s not a lot of explanation by OP, but also not a lot of explanation needed, you want to put your agents on docker, that’s probably a good idea

  2. Build Agents with Natural Language

    1. originally a very AI generated looking comment - they actually took my advice to clean it up a bit, and the idea is cool, can you build agents with natural language? take a look

  3. Illegal Agents

    1. Fun name lol

    2. It’s no code agents (which if you’ve known me long enough you know I don’t support no code, but hey, it’s for someone)
