AI agents make the leap: from answering questions to running complete workflows
The technology ecosystem is consolidating a shift from traditional generative AI toward "AI agents," autonomous systems capable of executing complete workflows without constant supervision. Major global corporations and strategic consulting firms report that organizations are moving from simple chat tools to coordinated multi-agent ecosystems that handle tasks such as inventory management, automated resolution of technical incidents in the cloud and optimization of global supply chains. Their value lies in contextual reasoning, which allows them to make operational decisions in real time and collaborate with human teams.
