About

A one-person project, not a product

I started NetAgents because this space moves fast and was hard to get a clear picture of from any single source. It's for network engineers, architects, security folks, and anyone else trying to separate what's actually shipping from what's a slide in a keynote.

Contribute

This directory and the articles that go with it are hand-checked by one person, which means they won't stay complete or correct on their own. If you know of an agent or project that belongs here, spot something wrong, or want to pitch a write-up of your own, there are a few ways in:

Corrections that land get credited on the directory page where they apply. Being right beats being fast, and I'd rather show that this gets checked by more than one set of eyes.

How this is put together

I started the directory as an AI-assisted research pass through public material on agentic AI in networking: vendor documentation, GitHub repositories, IETF drafts, and industry coverage. I then checked every entry against a primary source before it went on the page (a vendor's own product page, an official GitHub repository, or the actual IETF datatracker entry) rather than relying on a secondhand summary. That checking is ongoing, not a one-time pass, because vendor claims change and open source projects move fast.

The status tags on the directory (shipping, actively developed, experimental, research prototype) are my own judgment calls, not something vendors submit themselves. They're a quick, honest signal about maturity, and I'll get some of them wrong. If you work on one of the projects listed and think a tag is off, that's exactly the kind of correction I want.

What being listed here does and doesn't mean

Being listed isn't an endorsement, and this isn't exhaustive. There are plenty of agents and projects I haven't found yet, or that hadn't launched when I last updated a page. Descriptions come from public materials, not hands-on testing, unless an entry says otherwise. No vendor pays for placement or wording. That includes Fabrix.ai, where I work; see the disclosure below for how that relationship is handled.

Who's behind it, and the one disclosed conflict

I'm Rached, an agentic platform architect at Fabrix.ai and, on the side, principal and founder of Striker Consulting, with a background that includes years spent building and running networks before agentic AI was a category. NetAgents is a personal project I built and maintain on my own time, not a Fabrix.ai or Striker Consulting product, and neither company pays for or sponsors it.

The overlap with my day job is this site's one conflict of interest. Fabrix.ai has seven entries in the directory: six in the specialized agent catalogs section and one, its network observability platform, under observability & overlay platforms. Fabrix.ai doesn't pay for or sponsor those entries, and nobody there reviews or approves this site. I've tried to describe them in the same plain, factual tone as everything else here. But weigh those entries knowing I'm a Fabrix.ai employee with a financial and professional stake in the company's success, not just a research interest. Every other vendor and project here, I have no financial relationship with.
