Market Update: The Year of AI Agents
I believe we may have just seen the ChatGPT moment for agentic AI.
OpenClaw is one of the newest AI tools the public has gotten their hands on, and it might be the one of the most useful AI tool on the market.
(Side Fact: They had to change their name from Clawdbot to Moltbolt and then OpenClaw after Anthropic threatened to sue them.)
It is an open source, messaging native AI personal assistant that runs locally or on a small device server you control. Instead of living in a browser tab on a computer, it operates inside everyday messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, and Discord, replying and staying in sync across devices.
It essentially acts as a gateway that routes messages to AI models such as Claude or ChatGPT and can trigger real actions like checking email, managing calendars, running scripts, or sending proactive alerts.
For example, you could text Moldbot, “Keep an eye on my inbox for anything urgent from my boss,” and it would monitor your email in the background and message you as soon as one arrives. Or you might ask it to summarize tomorrow’s calendar and remind you an hour before your first meeting without needing to open another app.
It’s a true personal AI assistant.
What sets OpenClaw apart from many other AI applications is its persistence and proactivity. It maintains long term memory, can monitor conditions on a schedule, messages you first when something important happens, and generally stays up to date with your life. It does not need constant prompts. Instead, it becomes an extension of you. It may sound a bit dystopian, but this is what makes it feel like a real assistant. Go give it a try.
The future of AI is agentic.
So, which stocks could benefit from this shift toward agentic and personal AI assistants?
OpenClaw essentially gives models like Claude or ChatGPT a “life” by allowing them to interact with files, run commands, monitor inboxes, and message people proactively. Once these agents are enabled, they generate more automated traffic and more machine to machine activity across the internet. Essentially, AIs can start to work with one another. Not only that but software is becoming a commodity. Everyone will be a developer simple by using natural language.
The biggest edge you can have right now as an investor is to spend as much time as possible learning and using AI. You’ll understand what’s possible and the huge number of opportunities being created at this very moment.
One of the sectors that will likely be a huge beneficiary is security or cybersecurity to be precise. Hence, make sure to check out the Cybersecurity thematic portfolio.
And in that sector Cloudflare ($NET) is one of the leading companies in this sector. It sits directly at the intersection of edge compute, API security, bot management, and more, which makes it a natural beneficiary of AI agents.
As more AI agents come online, Cloudflare’s ability to inspect and secure requests at the edge becomes even more valuable. This further reinforces its position as the default front door for the modern internet. They also allow you too create and orchestrate your agents right in Cloudflare.


When products and moments like this appear, they can change the entire story and trajectory of a stock and even a whole sector.
OpenClaw looks like a clear inflection point where agentic AI moves into the hands of real users. It feels similar to when people first tried ChatGPT and could not believe what it could do.
This also means a lot more activity behind the scenes. More automated traffic, more API calls, more background processes, more DDoS attacks, more scams, more systems failing, and simply more of everything related to cyber.
Hyperscalers like Amazon, Google, and Oracle benefit as well, and the entire AI value chain will be a major beneficiary. Cybersecurity sits right at the application layer for agentic AI.
It’s not just that we’ve reached an inflection point for agentic AI. We may have reached one for video generation as well with the launch of Seedance 2.0 by ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company. It’s almost hard to believe how far AI video has come in just a few years.
Most people still underestimate what AI can do, but it’s improving so quickly that what seems impressive today will feel normal in a few months. And markets often underprice these second order effects at first, then reprice them quickly once people understand.
That’s why it’s crucial to be positioned to benefit from the AI tailwind and not invest in sectors that stand to be disrupted.
