Methods
How this People-Class Report was formed.
CipherPlay interviewed AI-agent builders, agent-wallet builders, and agent-commerce operators, with adjacent identity, outreach-agent, and hackathon-agent signals treated as market context.
13 core coded project-need signals from 4 primary AI-agent and agent-wallet interviews.
People Class And Work
The work this group is trying to complete.
AI-agent builders are trying to let agents act autonomously while keeping financial, identity, privacy, reputation, and dispute risk within acceptable bounds.

Institutional adopters
Identity, validation, reputation, and recourse acceptable enough for sensitive workflows.
Trust reviewers
Clear boundaries for wallet permissions, spend limits, proof, and disputes.

Overall Summary
The public market signal.
The important pattern is permissioned autonomy: agents can act, spend, prove work, and represent an owner only when identity, policy limits, evidence, and recourse are clear enough for counterparties to rely on.
