Dreamer launches consumer agent platform with Sidekick
Dreamer (formerly /dev/agents) publicly emerged from stealth as a consumer-focused platform for discovering, building and using AI agents and "agentic" apps. Co‑founders including David Singleton (who left Stripe) and Hugo Barra designed the product around a personal agent called Sidekick that helps users customize experiences and can itself generate agents. Dreamer provides a full-stack hosted platform (SDK, CLI, logging, databases, prompt management, serverless functions, VMs) and a gallery of community-built agents and tools. Tool builders can publish integrations, receive usage-based payments, and participate in a Builders in Residence program and a $10,000 prize. The beta includes hosted hosting, multi-user app primitives, model routing, and commerce support via Stripe Connect; Dreamer also announced the team is joining Meta Superintelligence Labs after this recording.
A new consumer‑focused agent platform with a full‑stack SDK, hosted runtime, tool monetization and Stripe commerce support may accelerate agentic apps and agent-driven commerce; relevant to MarTech/platform tooling but not yet industry‑shifting.
