Summary
AI agents — autonomous, task-focused systems that can plan, act, and follow up — have moved well beyond demos. Organizations are using agents to qualify leads, draft and send follow-up emails, automate parts of customer service, and compile weekly performance reports. These tools combine large language models, connectors to your apps (CRM, calendar, ERP), and simple automation logic to complete multi-step work with minimal human input.
Why this matters for business
– Faster, lower-cost workflows: Agents can do routine, repeatable tasks that eat up valuable team time.
– Better sales and service throughput: Faster follow-up and smarter routing improve conversion and satisfaction.
– Scalable reporting and automation: Agents can pull data from multiple systems, summarize it, and push updates to dashboards or stakeholders.
– Risk and governance needs: Agents can make mistakes (hallucinate), access sensitive data, or take unexpected actions — so controls are essential.
