The industry map, in text: the fields the companies we follow are filed under, the themes above them, and the newsroom's beats. Every field links to its companies; every theme to the summit's own tracks bridged to it. The same map as a graph: [graph/industry.json](../api/v1/graph/industry.json).

## Fields {#field}

The industry fields the team's company map files each company under.

- **[AI agents](ai-agents/index.md)** (22 companies). Companies building AI agents, agent platforms and the infrastructure agents run on.

## Beats {#beat}

The newsroom's beats (brief 3): what we write about.
