Why this is canonical

'Agent layer' is the architectural term for the stratum of software responsible for agent lifecycle, coordination, and capability exposure. With 'ai' appearing in both the name stem and the TLD, this coordinate signals its category membership redundantly and unmistakably.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Architectural layer brand
The named abstraction for the agent stratum in a layered AI stack — positioned between model APIs below and application surfaces above.
AI platform and multi-layer infrastructure builders
Developer platform
The coordinating layer that developer tools, SDKs, and frameworks target when building agent-enabled applications.
AI developer platform and SDK founders
