Agentic AI: The Next Technological Revolution to Transform Your Business in 2025
Artificial intelligence has come a long way in recent years. From voice assistants to text generators, we’ve witnessed a rapid evolution in AI capabilities. But today, we stand on the threshold of an even more profound transformation: the era ofAgentic AI. This new wave of technology promises to revolutionize not only the way we interact with IT systems, but also the way businesses operate on a day-to-day basis.
What is Agentique AI?
To understand the scope of this revolution, we first need to grasp what distinguishes agentic AI from traditional artificial intelligence solutions. Unlike the generative chatbots we know, which simply answer questions or generate content, agentic AI represents a major evolution in the autonomy of intelligent systems.
Agentic AI refers to systems capable of planning and executing complex objectives with minimal human supervision. These systems often operate via several coordinated agents that collaborate with each other, have a memory that allows them to contextualize their actions, and can use various tools and APIs to interact with the company’s digital ecosystem: CRM, messaging systems, web browsers, databases, and much more.
Imagine an assistant that doesn’t just answer your questions, but understands your goals, develops a plan of action, coordinates different tasks across multiple systems, and executes that plan autonomously while adapting to changes and obstacles encountered. This is precisely what agentic AI offers.
The Pillars of Agentic AI
To better understand this technology, let’s look at its fundamental components:
Autonomous planning: agentic AI systems can break down a complex goal into achievable sub-tasks, set priorities and determine the optimal order of execution. This strategic planning capability sets them radically apart from conventional AI tools.
Multi-agent coordination: Rather than a single monolithic system, agentic AI often relies on several specialized agents working together. One agent may be an expert in data analysis, another in customer communications, and a third in project management. Together, they form a highly efficient virtual team.
Contextual memory: These systems maintain a continuous understanding of the user’s context, past interactions and preferences. This memory enables them to deliver a truly personalized experience that is consistent over time.
Tool integration: Agentique AI can interact directly with the applications and services your company already uses, whether it’s your CRM, project management tools, office suite or communications platforms.
The Momentum of 2025: Technology Giants Make the Commitment
The year 2025 marks a decisive turning point for agentic AI, with major announcements from the world’s leading technology players. These developments are not just futuristic concepts, but concrete solutions that are already transforming working environments.
Salesforce: Slack Becomes an “Agentic Operating System
At Dreamforce 2025, Salesforce unveiled Agentforce 360, an ambitious initiative that repositioned Slack as much more than just an enterprise messaging platform. With this transformation, Slack becomes a true “agentic operating system” – a central cockpit where employees can interact with conversational agents capable of acting directly on company data.
In practical terms, this means that IT, HR, sales and analytics teams can now accomplish complex tasks without leaving Slack. Need to extract a sales report from Salesforce? Create a visualization in Tableau? Trigger an HR process? An agent can do it for you, in natural language, directly in your Slack conversation.
This approach revolutionizes the concept of “working in Slack”, transforming it into a true orchestration hub where agents become your most effective virtual colleagues.
AWS: Workflow Automation on a massive scale
Amazon Web Services is not to be outdone, with its agentic platform dedicated to automating enterprise workflows. The AWS solution offers native integrations with essential tools such as Salesforce, Jira and Slack, enabling companies to create sophisticated automated workflows that extend across their entire technology ecosystem.
The AWS approach is particularly relevant for marketing and operations teams juggling multiple platforms on a daily basis. Imagine an agent that monitors your sales pipeline in Salesforce, automatically creates Jira tickets for customer follow-up, and notifies the relevant teams via Slack – all while dynamically adapting to your company’s changing priorities.
Google: Gemini Enterprise as a Unified Platform
Google positions Gemini Enterprise as a complete solution for creating, deploying and managing agents in the enterprise. The focus is on security and governance, two major concerns for organizations adopting AI on a large scale.
Gemini Enterprise offers an environment where teams can develop customized agents tailored to their specific needs, while benefiting from Google Cloud’s security infrastructure. This “platform” approach enables companies to maintain control over their data while harnessing the power of agentic AI.
Frameworks and Tools: Building Reliable Agents
With the emergence of this new technological wave, a rich ecosystem of frameworks, patterns and tools is developing to help companies build reliable agents in production. Organizations such as Anaconda and CRN have published detailed guides and maps listing the best practices and technologies available.
These resources are essential because deploying agentic AI in a production environment presents unique challenges: reliability, security, auditability, and error management. Emerging frameworks address these concerns by providing tested components and proven architectures.
Transformer Use Cases
Agentic AI isn’t just a technical feat – it solves real-world problems that affect business productivity and efficiency. Here are a few particularly promising applications:
Autonomous Customer Service: Agents capable not only of answering questions, but also of solving problems by accessing company systems, modifying orders, issuing refunds, and escalating complex cases to the appropriate humans.
Intelligent Project Management: Systems that monitor project progress, identify potential bottlenecks, reallocate resources, and coordinate communications between teams – all proactively.
Automated Analysis and Reporting: Agents that generate customized reports by drawing on multiple data sources, identify important trends, and present them to decision-makers with actionable recommendations.
Recruitment and Onboarding: Systems that manage the recruitment process from start to finish, from pre-selecting candidates to coordinating interviews, right through to orchestrating the onboarding process for new employees.
Ethical Challenges and Considerations
Despite its enormous potential, agentic AI raises important questions that companies need to address:
Control and Supervision: What level of autonomy is appropriate? How can we ensure that agents always act in the interests of the company and its customers?
Transparency and Explicability: Decisions taken by agents must be traceable and understandable, particularly in regulated sectors.
Security and confidentiality: With extensive access to corporate systems and data, agentic agents need to be secure against malicious use and data leakage.
Impact on employment: The automation brought about by agentic AI will inevitably transform certain roles. Companies need to anticipate this transition and invest in training and retraining their teams.
Preparing Your Organization for Agentic AI
For companies wishing to take advantage of this new wave of technology, here are a few strategic recommendations:
Start with Targeted Use Cases: Rather than aiming for immediate complete transformation, identify specific processes where agentic AI can deliver measurable value quickly.
Invest in Data Infrastructure: Effective agents depend on high-quality, well-structured and accessible data. Make sure your data infrastructure is ready.
Establish Governance Frameworks: Clearly define the roles, responsibilities and limits of agents before deployment. Create supervision and audit protocols.
Train Your Teams: Successful adoption of agentic AI requires your employees to understand how to work effectively with these new virtual colleagues.
Choose the right platforms: Evaluate the solutions offered by the major suppliers(Salesforce, AWS, Google) in relation to your existing technological ecosystem and your specific needs.
The age of agentic AI is here. It’s time to plan your strategy to take full advantage of it.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What’s the difference between agentic AI and a chatbot like ChatGPT?
A traditional chatbot is essentially reactive: it answers your questions and generates content based on your requests. Agentic AI, on the other hand, is proactive and autonomous. It can plan complex sequences of actions, interact with multiple systems simultaneously, memorize context over the long term, and perform tasks without constant supervision. For example, rather than simply telling you how to book a conference room, an agentic agent will check availability in your calendar, book the room, invite participants, and order refreshments – all with a single instruction from you.
2. Is agentic AI safe for handling sensitive corporate data?
Security is a top priority for agentic AI platforms from major vendors. Solutions such as Google’s Gemini Enterprise, Salesforce’s Agentforce and the AWS platform incorporate robust security mechanisms: data encryption, granular access controls, traceability of actions, and regulatory compliance. However, it’s essential that your organization establishes clear governance policies, defines appropriate permissions for each agent, and maintains human supervision for critical operations. The security of agentic AI depends as much on technology as on organizational practices.
3. How much does it cost to implement agentic AI in my company?
Costs vary considerably depending on the scale of deployment and the platform chosen. Cloud solutions such as those from AWS, Google and Salesforce generally operate on a subscription or pay-as-you-go model, enabling you to start with modest investments. For an SME, a pilot project can start with a few thousand dollars a month, while a large-scale enterprise deployment can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Beyond licensing costs, consider investments in integration, training, and potentially data infrastructure. Return on investment is generally seen in productivity gains, reduced errors, and improved customer experience.
4. Does my company need a team of data scientists to use agentic AI?
Not necessarily. Modern agentic platforms are designed to be accessible to business users, not just technical experts. Salesforce Agentforce, for example, enables agents to be created via conversational interfaces and low-code tools. That said, having in-house technical expertise – however basic – makes agent adoption, customization and optimization much easier. A recommended approach is to start with pre-configured solutions or work with implementation partners, then gradually develop in-house skills as your use of agentic AI matures.
5. What are the first use cases to consider when getting started with agentic AI?
The best use cases to start with are those that combine high value potential with moderate complexity. Here are a few suggestions: automating first-level customer support (answering frequent questions and resolving simple problems), sales support (lead qualification, proposal generation, opportunity tracking), managing internal IT and HR requests (password resets, leave requests, policy queries), and generating recurring analytical reports. The key is to choose a process that is repetitive, well-documented, with clear rules, and where error has limited impact. This will allow you to learn and demonstrate value before tackling more complex cases.
6. Will agentic AI replace my employees?
Agentic AI is best understood as a tool for augmentation rather than replacement. It excels at repetitive tasks, coordinating processes, and processing large volumes of information, freeing your employees to focus on higher value-added activities: creativity, complex human relations, ethical judgment, and strategic decision-making. Certain roles will undoubtedly evolve – employees will need to develop new skills to work effectively with agents. The organizations that will succeed are those that invest in the ongoing training of their teams, and position agentic AI as a collaborative partner rather than a substitute.
