Corporate adoption and technical challenges of agentic AI

Overview

The corporate sector is transitioning from simple automation to ‘agentic AI’, with agents evolving from conversational tools to autonomous executors of complex tasks. While adoption is accelerating—evidenced by Salesforce utilizing over 100 agents in India and the ASEAN region—the scale of usage is growing rapidly. Salesforce data indicates an increase from five to 13 agents per organization between early 2025 and April 2026, while Goldman Sachs Research projects a 24-fold increase in token consumption by 2030.

Major developers are shifting focus toward autonomous task execution. At the Gemini at Work 2026 conference, Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian introduced the ‘Gemini Agent’, a unified interface designed to plan multi-step workflows. Concurrently, Anthropic has expanded its Claude assistant with ‘Claude Dashboards’ and ‘Claude Motion’. Strategic partnerships, such as the ‘Claudeforce’ initiative between Salesforce and Anthropic, are further embedding reasoning models into CRM infrastructure.

The concept of the ‘Agentic Enterprise’ is gaining traction, with leaders describing a ‘non-sleeping enterprise’ where agents autonomously manage finance and marketing. This is being mirrored in Vietnam, where firms like MISA Group are adopting agents to automate complex workflows. This evolution is expanding into ‘Physical AI’, connecting agents to robotics for industrial tasks, as seen with Mitsubishi Electric and SoftBank Robotics.

Recent developments show AI expanding into browser automation, such as OpenAI’s updated ChatGPT Chrome extension, which allows the AI to interact with open tabs to fill forms or organize information. To support this shift, Microsoft has announced the Azure Maia 300 AI accelerator chip, designed to optimize inference tasks and improve energy efficiency by 2027. However, rapid adoption has intensified calls for robust AI governance and security to address risks including data privacy, algorithmic bias, deepfakes, and AI-driven fraud.
