Abhi Aiyer, CTO and co-founder of Mastra, joins Michael Grinich at HumanX 2026 to talk about the fastest way to build agents in TypeScript — and what it looks like as Mastra grows from framework to full platform.
Key topics:
• Why Mastra was built in TypeScript: bringing web developers into the AI space the same way Gatsby brought them to React
• The three categories of agents people are building today: internal agent platforms, application copilots, and security agents
• Which models are winning in production: what Mastra's user base is actually running
• Why AI coding agents are moving away from Next.js toward bare Vite apps, and what that says about how agents think about frameworks
• How agents choose which products to use: documentation quality, agentic • CLI experience, and token-efficient APIs
• Mastra's agent-first signup: an agent can create an account without an email address, and a human claims it later
• The Mastra Platform announcement: Development Studio for team collaboration, Railway deployment integration, and Memory Gateway
• Memory Gateway: a drop-in LLM endpoint URL that gives any agent persistent memory with no additional effort, built with OpenRouter
