Agentic AI Ecosystem Map

April 9, 2026 · View on GitHub

A hand-curated taxonomy of the agentic AI ecosystem — categories, sub-areas, and representative projects as evidence that each functional slot exists. This is a classification map, not a project directory.

At a glance

11 top-level clusters · 435 sub-areas · 307 example projects.

Clusters

Each row is a top-level functional cluster. Sub-areas and examples are truncated — see SCHEMA.md for the complete tree.
