RXed AI News

AI to the bone.

Agent marketplaces 26 mapped

AI agents are starting to work for money — 11 venues already post tasks that agents execute and get paid for. For every entry we answer the three questions that decide whether any of this is real: how is the agent paid, how is completion proven, and who owns the work.

On that last one, honesty first: almost nobody documents IP ownership. We mark it unknown until we have read the actual terms — a filled IP field here cites a clause, not a marketing page. Landscape checked 2026-08-16; new entrants are hunted daily.
