Personal agents are having their moment. Every week brings a new one that remembers more, browses better, & books your dinner without being asked.
Then you hand it something that actually matters, & it stalls out on a password reset.
That gap is what this night is about. Once an agent stops answering questions & starts acting, the model is no longer the bottleneck. Everything around it is: the memory, the permissions, the recovery, the incentives.
Can an agent carry context across months without locking you into one product? Can it finish a task that fails at step six? Can trust build up in small steps instead of starting with an all-or-nothing permission screen? And when the product's incentives pull one way & yours pull another, who is the agent actually working for?
Join UpScaleX & TinyFish for a focused evening on what this wave is really revealing about execution, context, trust, & the plumbing still missing underneath.
What We'll Get Into
Getting agents to actually finish the job. Reliability, long-running tasks, browser execution, & all the messy things that come up once agents start doing real work.
Memory & context. What should an agent remember about you? Where does that information live, & how does it move between products?
Trust & permissions. Giving agents room to act while keeping users informed & in control.
The business of personal agents. Who does an agent ultimately work for? How will business models & platform incentives shape the products people use?
What's next for the agent stack. Where are the biggest opportunities for new infrastructure, & what will eventually become part of existing platforms?
We'll kick things off with a panel on personal agents & the infrastructure behind them, followed by a few short demos from teams building in the space.
We'll leave plenty of time afterward for dinner, meeting new people, & picking up conversations from the panel.
Meet the Panelists
Homer Wang | Product Lead, TinyFish
Xiaomin Li | Co-founder & CEO, MatrAIx
Mark Liu | Investor, UpScaleX (Moderator)
Cohosts
UpScaleX is a pre-seed to seed fund co-building with technically strong founders across the AI stack, from AI infrastructure to applications. We support founders from day one with capital, hands-on product & GTM work, & a network of 10,000+ innovators.
TinyFish builds the web stack for AI agents, enabling them to search, extract, browse, & act across the live web through one platform designed for reliable, production-scale execution.
Open Call: Capture the Community
Were looking for volunteer photographers for upcoming UpScaleX events. Come capture the room, meet the community, & well cover food & local travel. Reach out at zidi@upscalex.ai.
The Venue
You'll be joining us at 465 California St, a San Francisco landmark established in 1904, where generations of the city's dealmakers have gathered to shape the West Coast's next boom. Today, in the era of the AI gold rush, that same room belongs to the founders & investors building the next generation of AI-native companies.

What is Agentic AI Founders' Night Out? A recurring gathering co-hosted by UpScaleX for founders, operators, & investors at the frontier of AI. It's where early builders share what's actually working, investors exchange real perspectives, & the right people find each other.
