ai.com launches autonomous AI agents that act for users, not just chat

• ai.com lets users create a personal AI agent in about 60 seconds, with no coding required.
• Agents can execute tasks across apps and build new capabilities when needed.
• Improvements are shared across the network, boosting overall agent performance.

The race to move artificial intelligence from conversation to execution is accelerating.

ai.com, a new consumer AI platform founded by crypto executive Kris Marszalek, is entering the market with autonomous AI agents designed to act on users’ behalf, not just answer prompts.

The company says its agents can organize work, execute tasks across apps and even build missing tools themselves, a step that could push AI deeper into everyday digital life.

From crypto scale to consumer AI ambition

ai.com is led by Kris Marszalek, best known as co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com, one of the world’s largest consumer crypto platforms.

Marszalek will continue to lead both companies, positioning ai.com as a mass-market AI play rather than a niche developer tool.

The platform allows users to generate a personal AI agent in about 60 seconds, with no coding or technical setup.

Unlike standard chatbots, these agents are designed to carry out actions like sending messages, managing calendars, automating workflows or building simple projects.

ai.com says agents can even create new capabilities on their own if a task requires functionality that does not yet exist.

Those improvements, once validated, are shared across the wider agent network. In theory, that creates a flywheel effect: the more agents are used, the more capable all agents become.

Marszalek has framed this as a decentralized system that could speed progress toward artificial general intelligence, or AGI: AI systems that can perform a wide range of tasks at a human-like level.

“We are at a fundamental shift in AI’s evolution as we rapidly move beyond basic chats to AI agents actually getting things done for humans,” said Kris Marszalek, Founder and CEO of ai.com.

ai.com will officially launch its agent product on February 8, 2026, with a high-profile advertising debut during Super Bowl LX on NBC.

Autonomy meets privacy and regulation

While the promise is bold, autonomous agents raise immediate questions around safety, privacy and accountability.

ai.com says each agent operates in a secure, isolated environment where user data is encrypted with individual keys and actions are limited strictly by user permissions.

That architecture will be tested quickly if agents are allowed to trade stocks, handle payments or interact with third-party platforms.

Financial regulators, in particular, are likely to scrutinize how responsibility is assigned when an AI agent makes a mistake or executes a harmful action.

The company says users will retain full control, with all actions permission-based. Still, the real challenge will be proving that consumer-grade autonomy can scale without introducing new risks.

ai.com is free to start, with paid subscription tiers offering more advanced capabilities.

Additional features under exploration include financial integrations, agent marketplaces and social networks connecting humans, agents and agencies.

For now, ai.com’s launch signals a shift in the consumer AI narrative, away from asking questions and toward getting things done.
