Executive Summary

Many agentic AI applications today suffer from inconsistent, ephemeral “memory” and no reliable reconciliation, which leads to flakiness, incorrect tool calls, and auditability gaps for ML infrastructure and product teams. This pain is acute for mid-market and enterprise AI teams (≈150k potential customers) that must run agentic workflows in production with compliance and explainability requirements. Build a managed persistent state layer that offers versioned, transactional state, time-travel/queryable histories, reconciliation hooks, policy-driven audit trails, and SDKs/integrations for popular LLM toolkits, vector DBs, and orchestration frameworks. Expose simple transactional APIs plus an observability UI and SLO-backed deployment options (SaaS and on-prem) so agents and engineers can rely on consistent context and debug behavior quickly. The market looks attractive right now: a $6.0B opportunity (150k teams × $40k ACV) driven by rapid agentization, maturity of RAG/vector DB primitives lowering engineering barriers, and growing enterprise willingness to pay for governance and reliability. Timing favors solutions that move teams from PoC to production where these guarantees materially reduce risk and cost. You can differentiate by delivering strong consistency and reconciliation guarantees, end-to-end auditability and policy enforcement, and turnkey integrations—packaged as an enterprise-grade, SLO-backed managed service. Be upfront that integration complexity and buyer education are real challenges, so focus initial go-to-market efforts on 10–20 reference customers in regulated verticals (finance, healthcare, legal) to prove value and pricing.

Market Opportunity

Persistent state layer for reliable agentic-AI workflows targets a $6.0B = 150K mid-market & enterprise AI teams × $40K ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 30% YoY — enterprise AI software and tooling spending is growing rapidly (industry analyst estimates for AI platform spending).

Key trends driving demand: Agentization of apps — more products are embedding planner + tool patterns, increasing demand for persistent memory and auditability.; RAG and vector DB maturity — easier retrieval lowers engineering barriers but exposes the need for consistent state and reconciliation.; Enterprise AI governance — organizations demand audit trails, policies, and explainability for production AI, creating willingness to pay for managed state and observability.; Developer-first buying — developer experience and SDKs determine adoption for lower-level infrastructure; integrations accelerate product-led growth..

Key competitors include LangChain, Pinecone, LlamaIndex (formerly GPT Index).
