The Future Is Solo (TFIS) is a research initiative dedicated to understanding how artificial intelligence and automation are fundamentally reshaping the landscape of entrepreneurship and business creation. We explore the emerging paradigm where individuals can leverage AI agents and automated systems to build and scale businesses that rival traditional enterprises.

Our research examines how large organizations are adopting multi-agent systems and agentic workflows to automate decision-making and compress organizational hierarchies.

Economic Democratization

We analyze how cloud platforms, open-source AI models, and collaborative agents are lowering barriers to entry, enabling anyone with the right problem-solving mindset to build scalable solutions.
