Crypto.com AI agent still in ‘stealth mode’ nearly 8 months after Super Bowl debut
In February, ai.com drew enough traffic to crash its website after a $15 million Super Bowl ad, but months later, users are still wondering what’s happened to their promised AI agent.
Nearly eight months after Crypto.com's Super Bowl debut of its AI agent, the venture remains in "stealth mode," according to a company spokesperson. The AI platform, promoted as capable of a wide array of tasks from trading stocks to updating online dating profiles, crashed Crypto.com's website when it was first unveiled in February due to overwhelming demand.
Since then, users have been left wondering about the status of their promised AI agent, as the website still displays a message indicating that AI agent generation is queued due to high demand.
Crypto.com's spokesperson confirmed to Cointelegraph that development of the AI agent platform continues under the radar. They expressed willingness to provide more details upon a full public launch. Despite the platform's initial high-profile launch, rival exchanges have already begun offering AI assistants with more targeted functionalities, such as automated trading for Robinhood or financial tools for Kraken.
The AI agent venture aims to extend beyond financial tasks, with the February announcement describing personal agents that could handle a variety of responsibilities, including organizing work and sending messages. Crypto.com's AI agents were also designed to develop new capabilities and share these improvements across a network.
However, other major AI developers have been expanding the capabilities of their assistants to perform everyday tasks. For instance, Anthropic introduced computer use in Claude Cowork in March, while OpenAI followed in July with ChatGPT Work, an agent designed to complete multistep tasks across connected applications and files.
In the meantime, Crypto.com has also launched other AI services. In March, it integrated OpenClaw, allowing customers to deploy a personal AI trading agent that handles trade execution. Additionally, Crypto.com announced a workforce reduction of around 12%, attributed to AI integration efforts. The company also obtained ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification for its AI management systems, covering governance, responsible development, and deployment.
