Gaps in this category

1.
Dev Tools AI — 0 funded plays, watch for differentiation.
2.
Production multi-model LLM orchestration—Claude, Gemini, Llama cost tracking and failover in one plane. Five open-source CLI tools launched; none address it.
3.
ADHD-native habit tracking (DopaLoop) and home stereo build tools (BuildHiFi) hit niche demand; neither priced for scale.
4.
Production telemetry for agentic systems: No observability tools for tracking agent decision trees, token spend per decision branch, or hallucination detection in live inference.
5.
Multi-agent coordination: Open-source launches cluster around single-agent dev tools; none address scheduling, resource contention, or consensus across swarms.
