50 AI agents get their first annual performance review - 6 lessons learned - Joe McKendrick, ZDnet

"Agentic AI efforts that focus on fundamentally reimagining entire workflows -- that is, the steps that involve people, processes, and technology -- are more likely to deliver a positive outcome," according to the review. Start with addressing key user pain points, the co-authors suggest. Organizations with document-intensive workflows, such as insurance companies or legal firms, for example, benefit from having agents handle tedious steps. There will always be a need for human workers to "oversee model accuracy, ensure compliance, use judgment, and handle edge cases," the co-authors emphasized. Redesign work "so that people and agents can collaborate well together. Without that focus, even the most advanced agentic programs risk silent failures, compounding errors, and user rejection."
