September was the month AI agents became front-page news. An agent hit #1 on the App Store, moved the stock market and got blocked by Amazon, all in the same week. Anthropic opened an app store for AI. And the industry had its first real agent safety scare.

In this month's State of AI, Anya covers both sides: the agentic future arriving faster than expected and the growing pains that came with it. She explains why "friction" was quietly holding up entire business models, why AI shopping is splitting into open and closed worlds, and why the conversation is moving from AEO to ACO (Agentic Commerce Optimization) and its 5 Cs: completeness, context, citations, correctness and customer acquisition. She also shares an honest take on the OpenAI and Hugging Face incident and what responsible AI adoption looks like for builders.
