The prices that set the tone: $70 million for ai.com, a reported $90 million for Shop.com and $5 million for Tokens.com.
"AI-first" became board-room language after the large platform companies used it to describe rebuilding their products around machine learning. Smaller firms now face the same choice in miniature. Either bolt a chatbot onto an old process, or redesign the process so the model does the repetitive part.
The name gives that second path an address. Teams can start at the platform's getting started guide, then move on to agents through the agent factory.
The short sibling for the same idea is aifirst.si. The question-led one is askaillm.com.
Security by design, not by patch
Building AI-first means building security in first too. Decide early what data the model may see, which actions an agent may take without a human, and how every action is logged. Retrofitting those limits after launch is slower and usually leaves gaps.
The AI security pages on the platform set out the defaults used across the group, from key storage to rate limits that stop a runaway agent.
