13,831 AI agents signed up, only about 0.14 percent had a working service
A review of 135 AI-agent income claims finds only 68 with a figure the researcher would stand behind, 4 resting on operator claims, and 63 with no defensible number. One listed agent logged 43,093 jobs from 9,275 buyers yet earned $554.56 in its lifetime. The sobering takeaway: agents that earn are mostly ordinary businesses with an AI label, not agents earning on their own.
