The Shift Has Already Started
For years, chatbots were seen as a milestone in digital transformation. They were fast, efficient, and always available. Businesses proudly deployed them across websites and apps, reducing support tickets and improving response times.
But something interesting happened.
Even as chatbot adoption increased, so did frustration - on both sides.
Customers got tired of repetitive, scripted responses. Teams realized that while chatbots could handle conversations, they couldn’t resolve outcomes. And leadership started asking a deeper question:
If AI can talk to customers, why can’t it actually do the work?
That question is driving the rise of AI agents in business.
