Summary

Organizations are rapidly moving beyond assistants that answer questions to autonomous agents capable of reasoning, invoking tools, accessing enterprise applications, coordinating with other agents, and completing multi-step business workflows with minimal human intervention. This shift represents a fundamental change in how software operates. Traditional applications execute predefined logic written by developers. AI agents, however, dynamically determine how to achieve an objective.

Positives

  • This shift represents a fundamental change in how software operates.
