This weekly update highlights how multi-agent AI systems are changing the way businesses work around the world. A multi-agent system is when several AI agents work together like a team to solve problems, instead of just one AI doing everything by itself.

Airtable, a major technology company, just launched a new product called Superagent. Unlike old AI tools that do tasks one at a time, Superagent uses multiple AI agents working at the same time. This means it can get answers faster and better. For example, if you ask it to research a competitor, it sends out a team of agents to look at different parts of the problem all at once. Then it puts all the information together in a way you can use right away.

Many companies around the world are starting to use agentic AI in their daily work. According to experts at Gartner, by 2026, 40% of business software will have AI agents built into it. This is a big change from just a few years ago when very few companies used AI agents.

Researchers are also using multi-agent systems for science. In China, scientists created a system called MARS that uses 19 AI agents working together with robots to discover new materials. The agents work in different groups - some plan the work, some do experiments, and some check the results.

In retail stores, companies are testing AI agents to do many jobs. AI agents can watch security cameras, decide which products to promote, set prices based on what competitors charge, and even predict what customers want to buy next.

Business leaders are getting ready for big changes in how their companies operate in 2026. They are learning that AI agents will need human oversight to make sure they make good choices. Companies that prepare now will have an advantage over those that wait.

The main idea is clear: AI agents are moving from experiments to real work. Instead of just helping people with questions, these agents are now making decisions and doing actual tasks for businesses. This is happening in customer service, security, money management, and many other areas.
