Its flows, and where AI agents are in them
We have not mapped Startup Portugal's flows yet: how work moves through its product, from a request to a result, and at which steps an AI agent acts. We map them only from public pages (its own site and documentation, its talks), each step with its source, and never guess. If you are at Startup Portugal, the quickest way to get this right is to tell us how it works.
Our question for them
As for every company we follow, three questions, not claims. We have not asked Startup Portugal yet. When they answer, it goes here.
- Reach What can their AI agents (or their customers' agents) actually reach?
- Mandate What were they authorised to do?
- Gap Who controls the gap between the two?
