AI agents move into the boardroom — what businesses should do next

What’s happening
AI “agents” — customizable, task-focused AI assistants (think: custom GPTs and agent frameworks) — have moved from demos into real business pilots. Companies are using them to automate repetitive sales tasks, generate on-demand reports, triage customer requests, and stitch work across CRM, email, and BI tools.

Why this matters for your business
– Faster outputs: agents can draft emails, update records, and produce summary reports in minutes instead of hours.
– Better sales productivity: reps spend less time on admin and more time selling.
– Smarter reporting: natural-language queries + agent orchestration make insights easier to access for non-technical teams.
– But — practical gaps remain: data access, privacy, governance, and reliable integrations are the difference between a pilot and a production win.

How [RocketSales](https://getrocketsales.org) helps — practical next steps you can take
1. Pick a high-value, low-risk pilot
– Example: automate lead enrichment + follow-up templates, or generate weekly sales summaries from your CRM and BI tools.
2. Map data and integrations
– Identify CRM, email, and reporting sources. Decide what data the agent needs and how it will access it securely.
3. Design the workflow, not just the model
– Define inputs, outputs, escalation rules (when a human should step in), and success metrics (time saved, conversion lift, report frequency).
4. Build governance and monitoring
– Data controls, audit logs, and quality checks keep agents trustworthy and compliant.
5. Iterate and scale
– Start small, measure impact, refine prompts and connectors, then expand to other teams or processes.

Quick example use cases
– Sales: automatic lead scoring + personalized outreach drafts.
– Operations: daily performance digest that pulls from your BI and flags anomalies.
– Customer success: triage tickets and suggest next actions to agents, then route to humans when needed.
