Innovation Agents did join the Workforce in 2024 & Delivered Superhuman Performance 🤖
Sam Altman predicted that AI agents would enter the workforce in 2025. At FifthRow, they arrived early and have been proven to be able to deliver a superhuman performance.
FifthRow's Venture Building App achieved an 87% success rate for concept validation based on real market data (compared to the 30% success rate we saw during our 15 years of traditional consulting, before launching FifthRow).
The app guides users through the entire journey — from Research → Ideation → Simulation → Microsite Performance — all within a single automated platform.
This superhuman performance has led Fortune 500 companies to redefine their innovation and venture-building strategies around the FifthRow approach.
The Game-Changer: FifthRow Apps & App Marketplace 👾
In December 2024, we introduced FifthRow Apps, empowering users to create custom, end-to-end automated solutions tailored to their unique workflows. Built on the success of our Venture Building App, these apps enable businesses to transform their processes into Vertical AIs.
Now, we’re excited to announce that the FifthRow App Marketplace is officially live!
Organizations can now replace consulting services with industry-specific Vertical AIs—collections of pre-trained autonomous agents designed to automate and optimize complex business processes. Next to being able to access a growing library of AI-powered apps designed to solve industry-specific challenges, it’s possible to customize any of them to your specific needs and wants.
What makes the App Marketplace a game-changer:
- Customizable Agent Training for Vertical AI: Pre-trained autonomous agents tackle specific business functions and are easily customized to suit your unique needs. Each app undergoes over 60+ stress tests to ensure consistency and robustness.
- Scalable Use at a Fixed Price: No hourly consulting fees or hidden costs—apps can be run as many times as needed for a fixed cost.
- Fully Traceable Sources: Every insight is linked to verified data sources, ensuring transparency and accountability.
- Seamless Data Integration: Apps work with public and private data and comply with SOC2 and GDPR standards.
Instead of piecemeal consulting, the FifthRow App Marketplace offers a growing library of Vertical AIs designed to tackle industry-specific challenges and customizable to fit your needs. The library will continue to expand with more first-party and partner apps, with customizable options that let you tailor them to your exact needs.

This is just a sneak peek, but we cannot share everything right away!
