+# Getting Ready for Agents
+
+The Agent Framework is planned for **H1 2026**, but you can start preparing your infrastructure and workflows today.
+
+This page is based on the "Call To Action" content from the Mycelium Agents page.
+
+## 1. Establish the Networking Layer
+
+Agents will rely on **Mycelium Network** for secure, peer‑to‑peer connectivity.
+
+- Install and use **[Mycelium Network](/network)** on your key devices.  
+- Become comfortable with overlay addresses and testing connectivity.  
+- Decide which machines, clusters, and locations will be part of your "agent fabric".
+
+## 2. Set Up Compute & Clusters
+
+Use **Mycelium Cloud** and **Virtual Data Centers** as the compute substrate for future agents.
+
+- Deploy clusters via **[Mycelium Cloud Getting Started](/cloud/getting-started)**.  
+- Explore **[Kubernetes Basics](/cloud/kubernetes-basics)** and the **[Deployment Tutorials](/cloud/tutorial)**.  
+- Design where different workloads should live (personal VDC, shared VDC, edge nodes, etc.).
+
+If you plan to run larger AI workloads, consider capacity with GPUs or high‑memory nodes.
+
+## 3. Decide How You’ll Host Capacity
+
+If you want agents to run on hardware beyond your personal machines, look into becoming a **hoster**:
+
+- Read **[Hosters Overview](/hosters/overview)** to understand the role.  
+- Choose hardware via **[Buy or Build a Node](/hosters/buy-node)** and **[Advanced Node Options](/hosters/advanced-nodes)**.  
+- Set up your node using **[Set Up Your Node](/hosters/setup)**.  
+- Learn about **[Hosting Economics (SPORE)](/hosters/economics)**.
+
+This prepares a foundation where agents can later run on your own nodes or on community capacity.
+
+## 4. Map Your Data & Privacy Requirements
+
+Agents are meant to operate on **your** data, not someone else’s cloud silo.
+
+Begin planning:
+
+- Where your key datasets live today.  
+- Which data must stay in specific jurisdictions or networks.  
+- Which data could be processed on edge nodes, VDCs, or both.  
+- How quantum‑safe and replicated storage (e.g. QSFS) might fit into your architecture.
+
+## 5. Start with Today’s Components
+
+From the call‑to‑action message:
+
+> *“The Agent Framework launches in H1 2026, but the foundation is ready now. Use today’s components — models, storage, compute, and network — to deploy workloads, connect nodes, and prepare for the next generation of distributed AI.”*
+
+Practical steps you can take now:
+
+- Deploy AI workloads on Mycelium Cloud clusters.  
+- Use Mycelium Network to connect dev machines, clusters, and edge boxes.  
+- Experiment with multi‑node workflows and data flows across environments.  
+- Treat these as early prototypes that agents will later formalize and automate.
+
+## 6. Stay Informed
+
+As the Agent Framework evolves, watch for:
+
+- Updated documentation and architecture deep‑dives.  
+- Early SDKs, CLIs, or runtimes for prototyping.  
+- Example patterns combining agents, VDCs, and QSFS.
+
+Follow official channels (site, docs, community) for announcements.
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+You don’t need to wait for the Agent Framework launch to start building:
+
+- Use **network**, **cloud**, **VDC**, and **hosting** pieces today.  
+- Organize data and infrastructure so that agents can slot in later.  
+- Think in terms of **sovereign, distributed AI** rather than centralized APIs.
+
+When agents arrive, you’ll already have the networking, compute, and data foundations in place.
