I am interested as well what future would look like. So far what I am seeing is:

(1) specialized AI agent -> (2) we should add 1790 agents to be competitive -> (3) pivot to agentic workforce platform

now we have lots and lots of agentic workforce platforms and sandbox providers to run them. All have similar capabilities: create agent for HR, create agent for Sales,...

Hope to see something interesting to pop-up, at least it was happening in SaaS-era where people were inventing new ways of solving old problems: DocuSign, Salesforce, Zoho,...

I think both product and engineering is lacking. The only thing that works great today is the LLM model themselves.

Everything is dependent on "agents", but there are either barely any scaffold around them or it is full speghetti, at least it's hard to find one that's well constructed.

For instance, humans zoom around in cars, these cars don't spontaneously combust (most of the time), have seatbelts and airbags, and don't need engine oil replacement every 1 mile. Humans are amazing, the cars are also relatively solidly engineered (at least the ones we drive around today).

The agent product that we have today are decidedly NOT that. Maybe for a single week openclaw was it - and then it decided to add a trawler and a fishhook to the car along with 1000 other addition because why not? And that has been true for almost every one of the LLM/AI product I have seen.

I think the winners here, such as it is, will be the companies that have an actual specialized service that actually does something, where any "agentic" functionality is on top of that.
