# How will highly liquid agentic talent marketplaces function in practice?

**Open question.** The author envisions future **'agentic talent marketplaces'** (imperative 7 of the [[framework-seven-imperatives]]) where companies can 'recruit' pre-configured agents with specific skills, personalities, and cultural backgrounds. But it remains unclear:
- How will these agents be **priced**?
- How will their **intellectual property** be managed?
- How seamlessly will they integrate into **proprietary corporate tech stacks**?

**Resolution path:** Observe emerging enterprise AI platforms (customized GPT stores, specialized agent marketplaces) to see how interoperability and licensing standards develop.

**Enrichment note:** Marketplace concepts (model 'stores', GPT stores, agent platforms) already exist; a *liquid* market for pre-configured agents is an extrapolation of current trends — **visionary but plausible**, a future scenario rather than current reality. The open questions on pricing, IP, and integration are well-posed.
