About this report

A survey-led account of how organizations are moving AI agents from limited automation into more complex production workflows. Technical-leader responses are paired with deployment examples and practitioner perspectives, covering current use, expanding applications, return measurement and adoption obstacles. The report is especially useful for comparing organizational ambitions with the infrastructure and controls that autonomous systems require. Its vendor perspective and the scope of its US technical-leader sample should remain part of the interpretation when using it to plan an agent program.

The PDF is in English. This introduction and content guide are available in your selected language.
