In short

• Web Summit lists "Breakout startups" on Centre Stage on Thursday 12 November, 09:24 to 09:44, with four founders from four startups.
• Bagel Labs builds AI for robots; Kamino sells finance software to mid-sized companies in Brazil; Unframe offers a platform for AI agents in large companies; norriv makes holograms and AI avatars.
• Each description comes from the company's own site or its founder's Web Summit profile, as labelled below.
• The session depends on Day 3: Web Summit says it "aims to proceed" on Thursday after cancelling Wednesday.

The story

Web Summit describes the session as a showcase where "innovative startups pitch their disruptive ideas and cutting-edge technologies". Four are listed, from four quite different fields. Here is what each says about itself.

Bagel Labs, AI for robots. Its site calls Bagel Labs "a physical AI research lab developing world-action models for robot control": in plain terms, AI models that help robots act in the physical world. On Web Summit, founder and CEO Bidhan Roy's profile says the company "builds physical AI models for autonomous robotics".

Kamino, finance software for Brazil. Kamino's site, in Portuguese, offers financial automation for mid-sized companies: payments, receivables, reconciliation and reports in one system. Founder Benjamin Gleason's Web Summit profile calls it "the AI-first Office of the CFO platform for Brazil's mid-market". This is not the Kamino on the Solana blockchain, a different company with the same name.

Unframe, agents for large companies. Unframe's site calls it "the unified platform for agents and solutions across the enterprise". Co-founder and COO Larissa Schneider's profile says Unframe builds "the AI layer making enterprise systems genuinely intelligent", and that it is backed by "$100M in funding", a figure we have not checked.

norriv, holograms and avatars. norriv's site calls it a "Hologram & Hologram Box Provider". Founder and CEO Milan Vízner's profile says the company creates "3D holograms, digital twins, and AI avatars".

Why they are worth knowing. Between them, the four work on robots, company finance, enterprise software and holograms, and all four pitch in twenty minutes on the summit's main stage.

Will it happen? Web Summit called off Day 2 because of Storm Charles. In its statement, it says it "aims to proceed with Day 3 (Thursday, November 12) as planned". Our story on the storm has the latest. Check Web Summit's app before you go.

What this does not claim

• Each description is the company's own, or its founder's Web Summit profile. We have not tested any product, and we say nothing about customers or results.
• Unframe's "$100M in funding" is its profile's claim; we have not checked it.
• The session time is as Web Summit lists it on 11 November. It runs only if Day 3 goes ahead.
• This story does not suggest that anyone should invest in or work with any of the four.
