Gartner forecasts that 40% of business applications will add AI agents by 2026 and urges CIOs to define an agentic AI strategy within a three- to six-month window. AI agents promise increased productivity and lower costs, but current agent implementations remain unreliable. Tests of OpenAI's Agent mode yielded useful output in only one of eight trials. High failure rates plague many enterprise AI projects, with claims that 95% of business AI applications have failed. Hype-driven, rushed adoption risks costly mistakes and premature replacement of human roles without proven value.
Pssst. Hey. You. Yeah, I'm talking to you. Are you a CEO, board member, senior VP, or other top-level corporate leader? You want to know a secret? You've got three to six months to AI agent-up your company, or you'll fall behind. You know what that means, doncha? If you fall behind, you're out.

As part of the analyst firm's predictions on agent adoption in enterprise apps, the researcher claims this: "CIOs have a crucial three- to six-month window to define their agentic AI strategy, as the industry is at an inflection point. Organizations that do not embrace agentic AI promptly risk falling significantly behind their peers." What does that even mean? Falling behind how? The key selling pitch is that agents can do more and cost less.
