Why AI agents need interaction infrastructure

To stop automation waste, enterprises must deploy interaction infrastructure that physically governs how independent AI agents operate.

AI agents now populate corporate networks, reasoning through tasks and executing decisions with increasing autonomy. Yet, when these independent actors attempt to coordinate work, exchange context, or operate across varied cloud environments, the interaction framework degrades quickly. Human operators find themselves acting as the manual glue between disconnected systems, managing fragile integrations while the rules dictating permissions and data sharing remain implicit.

Band, a startup based in Tel Aviv and San Francisco, has exited stealth mode with a $17 million seed round to address this infrastructure problem. The funding backs CEO Arick Goomanovsky and CTO Vlad Luzin in their effort to build a dedicated interaction layer for autonomous corporate systems. The concept mirrors earlier computing evolutions, wherein application programming interfaces required dedicated gateways and microservices necessitated a service mesh to function at scale.

As distributed systems multiply under the ownership of different internal teams, adding more business logic fails to resolve the underlying instability. Rather, interacti...
