Summary AI “agents” — autonomous, LLM-powered assistants that can read data, take actions, and coordinate tasks — are moving from labs into everyday business use. Developers and vendors (think agent frameworks and copilots) have made it much easier to build agents that connect to CRMs, calendars, ticketing systems, and data warehouses. Companies are already using […]

Quick summary AI agents — goal-driven AI that combine large language models with connectors and automation — are moving fast from experiments into real business use. Over the last year major vendors and startups shipped agent toolkits and prebuilt connectors to CRMs, calendars, and data warehouses. Early adopters are using agents to research and qualify

Short summary Autonomous AI agents — software that can act on behalf of people to research, triage, and complete tasks — have shifted from experimental demos to real business deployments this year. Companies are using agents to qualify leads, automate customer triage, generate routine reports, and orchestrate cross-system workflows. At the same time, attention is

Story summary Major AI platforms have moved from “research demos” to practical, customizable AI agents that can run tasks, access company data, and act on behalf of users. Vendors have embedded these agents into productivity suites, CRM tools, and cloud platforms so they can do things like draft outreach, generate sales reports, extract insights from

Quick summary AI “agents” — systems that act autonomously to complete tasks by calling tools, searching data, and coordinating workflows — moved this year from prototype experiments into practical business use. Advances in safety, tool integration, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) mean agents can now do things like draft multi-step proposals, run account research, update CRM

Quick summary AI agents — autonomous systems that can read, decide, and act across apps and data — moved from demos to real pilots in 2024–2025. Big vendors (and a growing set of startups) released agent platforms you can connect to CRMs, calendars, email, and reporting tools. That means tasks that used to need human

Summary A new wave of “AI agents” — autonomous, task-focused AI assistants that can use tools (CRMs, email, reporting systems) and make multi-step decisions — is moving from tech demos into real business use. Instead of a person prompting an AI each time, these agents can run recurring workflows: qualify leads, assemble weekly sales reports,

Big story in brief In 2024, AI moved from demos to practical workplace tools. One turning point was OpenAI’s rollout of Custom GPTs and the GPT Store — simple, low-code ways to build domain-specific AI agents that can answer questions, run routines, and connect to company data. At the same time, enterprises started pairing these

AI agents are automating cross‑app workflows — what business leaders need to know Story summary Over the last year we’ve moved from demos and prototypes to real, usable AI agents that can connect to apps, run multi‑step workflows, and act with some autonomy. Vendors and open‑source projects (think Copilot‑style assistants, LangChain/AutoGPT patterns, and multimodal models)

The story — quick summary AI agents are moving out of labs and into everyday business workflows. These are software “assistants” that can read your CRM, draft personalized outreach, generate weekly reports, or triage customer requests — then take action across apps. New platforms and toolkits make it easier for non‑technical teams to assemble agents
