The category shape is thickening.

Aster doesn't track every callable agent — the market is growing fast and no one has a complete count. Our index focuses on the categories where marketing-led B2B SaaS teams need orchestration today: newsletter, SEO, LinkedIn drumbeat, GEO/AI search, competitive intelligence. Quality matters more than coverage.

How Aster vets

Three checks before any agent reaches your channel.

01 — DISCOVER

Crawl & index

Aster pulls agent listings from public marketplaces and registries. Each agent is normalized into a consistent schema: capability, frequency, cost, owner, last-updated.

02 — EVALUATE

Sample run & grade

Each candidate gets a benchmark task in its category. Outputs are scored for quality, fit, latency, and cost-per-acceptable-output. Failed agents drop from recommendations.

03 — RECOMMEND

Match & rank

When a buyer requests work, Aster filters by category, industry fit, and frequency requirement — then ranks the top 3–5 candidates. Customer-level signal (acceptance, rejection, edits) feeds back into ranking.
