Is Your Business Ready For An AI Agent?

Meghan Austin

Before you can determine if your business is ready to implement one or multiple AI
agents, it’s important to make sure you and your team know what AI agents are and
what they can do for you.

Not entirely synonymous with the similar yet more robust Agentic AI, an AI agent is an
AI-powered software system that can perform complex tasks, learn over time, and
even work with other AI agents to make bigger decisions and perform larger tasks.
Read on to discover the three questions we recommend you answer first as you
consider your options.

1. Does your business need an AI agent?

Which parts of your business stand to gain the most?

More complex than an AI assistant or a bot, AI agents use machine learning and
master complicated workflows. AI agents can fill a gap in your process, replace older
solutions, or supplement your current operation.

We recommend you start by determining your key objectives. Be it cost-cutting,
business growth, or going deeper with capabilities, setting your objective is key in
determining where the relevant opportunity lies.

Example case: You may uncover that your business is ready to detect cybersecurity threats more quickly. That could be the perfect task for an AI agent.

2. Is your business ready for an AI agent?

Think of an AI agent as another piece of software (because it is!)

So, you’ve set an objective and are ready to achieve it. Now you need to assess how
ready your business is to do so. Maybe you need to verify that your AI agent wouldn’t
be able to access data that you don’t want it to.

LIke with any software rollout, make sure it won’t harm your operations. AI regulations and compliance will continue to evolve quickly, so make sure you stay
Up-to-date.

3. Do you know which AI agents you should consider first?

Where should you look and who can you trust?

Doing research is important, yes, but part of that is knowing when to pull in other
experts. We are experts in strategic AI deployment, so as you make sense of all of the
tools available to you, we’re here to make those decisions easier and more impactful. You can attend one of our AI Solutions workshops to uncover your company’s areas
of opportunity.
