In the enterprise of the future, human workers are expected to work closely alongside sophisticated teams of AI agents.
One-third of American workers are already using AI in the workplace, and 2025 is predicted to be the year these “invisible” AI agents take on a more active role in enterprise operations.
AI agents can handle multiple tasks based on context and natural language, going beyond question-answer chatbots to execute complex tasks.
Experts predict by mimicking human-like behavior, AI agents will eventually fulfill the long-awaited dream of automation in enterprises that robotic process automation (RPA) was supposed to solve.
AI agents will be able to perceive, interpret data, plan, act, reflect, learn from feedback, and improve over time.
Although AI agents are still in formative stages, their abilities range from retrieval augmented generation to multi-agent ecosystems, but human input is still vital in most use cases.
AI agents can streamline onboarding processes, work with procurement agents, gather information about customers, and complete tasks by breaking goals into sub-goals.
Companies are using compound AI systems that break down monolithic models to improve quality and decrease cost and latency.
The true transformation will come from companies leveraging their data to build a unique capability or business process to get service advantage over competitors.
