MIT / AI Agent Index: 2025 AI Agent Index

Rated 4/5 by our research deskAdded 2026-09-08

What it is

The AI Agent Index documents deployed agentic AI systems, their capabilities, technical components, domains, and available safety information. Founders can use it to understand what real agent products do today and what safety details are often missing.

Why we picked it

Valuable research-grade reference for market awareness and agent due diligence, especially when teaching students not to trust agent hype blindly.

How you might use it

Knowing what AI can and cannot do is worth more than knowing any single tool. The Lead AI, Don't Follow module is about staying in charge of the direction, not just the output. This resource fits that mindset.
