Is Your Workplace Set Up for AI Agents?
AI’s true productivity gains require redesigning organizations, not merely adding AI to human-centered systems—much like factories once had to redesign around electricity. Current productivity estimates underestimate AI because they assume task automation within existing structures. Real gains come from restructuring data into machine-readable formats, exposing systems through APIs, and eliminating silos so agents can work across domains. As AI reduces coordination and cognitive limits, human roles should shift from execution to ownership and verification—defining goals, making value-based judgments, and ensuring accountability. With proper safeguards, agent-first organizations can achieve transformative, not marginal, improvements.

Preparing Your Brand for Agentic AI
AI agents are transforming brand-consumer relationships. The authors explore how brands must adapt to a new retail environment in which consumers increasingly rely on generative AI for product research, recommendations, and purchases. Three modes of agentic interaction exist today: Consumers (1) engage with brand agents, (2) search for products using third-party agents they’ve personalized over time, and (3) empower AI to interact with other AI on their behalf. Brands must develop a hybrid strategy that balances automation with human shopping preferences. Successful companies rely on proprietary customer and product data to deliver personalized agentic experiences. But the process isn’t as simple as purchasing new software. Ongoing experimentation, prompt-based optimization, and integration with other AI ecosystems are essential steps.
