Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla says Wajo, a startup founded by a former DeepMind engineer, is positioned to win the market for AI agents. His reasoning centers on trust: as autonomous agents take on more consequential tasks, users will choose the company they believe handles reliability and safety best. The endorsement puts a small entrant in direct competition with far larger AI labs pursuing agent products.

Why now: A prominent investor's public bet on a startup founded by a former DeepMind engineer draws attention in the fast-moving AI agent race.
