Ai.Com, Founded by Kris Marszalek, Announces Upcoming AI Agents

AI platform ai.com, founded by Crypto.com co-founder and CEO Kris Marszalek, said it will launch an autonomous AI agent for retail consumers. The agentic AI can execute functions including trading stocks, workflow automation and simple tasks like calendar updates and managing changes to online social profiles.

User data will be segregated and secured by encryption keys unique to each user, and agents will operate within user-set restrictions. Interest in agentic AI has grown over the past year. About one quarter (23%) of respondents surveyed by investment research firm McKinsey said their organizations were expanding the use of AI agents.

Proponents say these agents can automate crypto trading strategies and wallet management, removing technical barriers for new users unfamiliar with blockchain systems and onchain transaction execution. Jonathan Farnell, CEO of crypto exchange Freedx, cited obstacles such as choosing the correct blockchain network and token protocols and navigating complex user interfaces.
