Agentic AI is changing how businesses work this week. These are special computer programs that can make decisions and do tasks all by themselves without people telling them what to do every step of the way. Companies around the world are getting excited about this technology because it helps them work faster and smarter.

The biggest change happening right now is that businesses are using agentic AI to automate their processes—which means the AI handles repetitive jobs automatically. For example, Yahoo DSP just announced that it is using agentic AI to set up advertising campaigns and fix problems on its own. This is important because it saves companies time and money. One company called Danfoss automated 80% of its decisions and now gets answers almost instantly instead of waiting 42 hours.

People are predicting that the agentic AI market will grow from 5.2 billion dollars in 2024 to 200 billion dollars by 2034—that is a huge increase! In manufacturing, experts think agentic AI could create 650 billion dollars in extra revenue by 2030 across all industries. This is why so many businesses are jumping in to use this technology.

The cool thing is that agentic AI helps with many different jobs. It helps retail stores work better, it helps manufacturing plants run smoother, and it even helps with customer service. Microsoft just announced new tools to help stores use agentic AI for all their business tasks. Companies are also discovering that when they combine AI with other business helpers, they can work 40 to 70 percent faster and save 20 to 50 percent on costs.

Even though this is exciting, business leaders need to be careful. They need to make sure the AI makes good decisions and that people still have important jobs to do. The real power of agentic AI comes when it works together with humans to solve problems and make businesses better.
