Scenario 1Analysis: Industry-specific deployments expand
Agents for defined business tasks could gain ground through implementation partners and industry-focused vendors, following Vertafore’s policy-check launch and TELUS Digital’s Parloa plans.
Watch for- TELUS Digital announces customer deployments using Parloa agents.
- Vertafore publishes customer results from automated policy checks.
- More industry software vendors launch agents for named workflows.
Scenario 2Analysis: Controls become a competitive distinction
Agent platforms could compete more visibly on permissions and execution controls as ServiceNow’s AI Passport and Perplexity’s sandbox bring containment features into the product mix.
Watch for- Platforms add controls that enforce permissions while agents run.
- Enterprise customer announcements identify agent controls as a selection criterion.
- Vendors publish evaluations showing how their controls contain unauthorized actions.
Scenario 3Analysis: Broader autonomy advances slowly
Gaps in worker adoption, enterprise controls and agent memory could keep deployments narrowly scoped, with human review remaining common rather than agents taking on broader responsibilities.
Watch for- Follow-up surveys continue to show gaps between executive and worker adoption.
- Customer deployments retain approval steps before consequential agent actions.
- Agent evaluations continue to identify memory failures in extended workflows.
