The Rise of AI Agents in Business

Nearly every company is expected to showcase agent-driven features in the near future, indicating a shift towards an agent-centric era. This prediction highlights that both established corporations and newer startups will either introduce agents or claim their operations are powered by them, driven by recent substantial announcements from tech giants like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Google. As enterprises seek to harness the capabilities of AI, agents are seen as the missing link to unlock their full potential, particularly in the business sector.
