Enterprise AI
Why now?
- Boards are moving from experimentation budgets to transformation mandates
- AI-first companies are setting productivity benchmarks incumbents must answer
- Procurement is shifting from seats to outcomes
- The gap between pilots and production is where value is being won or lost
- Why it matters
- Enterprise adoption is where AI becomes economic reality. It determines which vendors win and which jobs change.

Technology profile
Software that plans, acts and completes work with supervision.
An AI agent is a system that uses a model to plan and execute multi-step tasks by calling tools, reading and writing data, and taking actions in software environments, typically with a human setting goals and reviewing outcomes.
- A goal is specified in natural language, often with constraints and examples.
- A reasoning model decomposes the goal into steps and decides which tools to call.
- Tools expose actions: search, code execution, database queries, API calls, browser control.
