Agentic AI is software that plans a sequence of steps toward a goal, calls tools to carry them out, and adjusts when a step fails. The distinction from a chatbot is control: an agent decides what to do next, rather than answering what it was asked.

What the work involves
A working agent needs a planner that decomposes a goal, a tool layer with real permissions, a memory of what it already tried, and an evaluation harness that catches a bad run before a human does. Most projects that stall have the first and fourth missing. Ask any vendor which of the four they build and which they assume you already have.
Who buys it
The buyers who succeed have a repetitive, high-volume process with a clear success metric and a tolerable error cost. Ticket triage, invoice matching, and claims intake all qualify. Anything where a wrong action is expensive and hard to reverse belongs in a later phase, not a pilot.

Research notes
We identified 19 firms claiming agentic delivery, then applied one bar: at least two deployments running in production for more than three months, with a named reference we could speak to. Six cleared it. The most common reason for failing was not capability but evidence: pilots that never reached production, or references the firm would not name.
| Stage | Firms | Why they dropped out |
|---|---|---|
| Claimed agentic delivery | 19 | · |
| Had a production deployment | 11 | 8 had pilots only |
| Two or more, over three months | 8 | 3 had a single deployment |
| Named reference we could speak to | 6 | 2 declined to name one |
Our July assessment scored firms partly on which model they used. That was a mistake: the model is the easiest component to swap and told us nothing about delivery capability. The September revision scores the four layers instead, which moved two firms up and one down.
