2025 was the hype phase for AI Agents. We all heard about them, though many of us still aren't using them in our day to day yet. Some forward leaning companies mapped out use cases, and some made it to the building and testing phase. 2026 will be the year Agents emerge; buckle up, because we're in for a ride.
In this talk, I'll provide a brief refresher on what Agents are - the different types, how they work, and how they're being used today. Then we'll take a look at how Agents will proliferate across enterprises and industries, and I'll share how the modern work environment will continue to evolve, keeping us on our toes for the foreseeable future.
We'll cover advances in GenAI tooling and how the modern SaaS products we use everyday now have automation workbenches with AI Agents wired in. Whether you're working with Agents daily or brand new to the topic, this talk will have something tangible for everyone looking to upgrade their approach to getting things done.
