AI Agents: Initial Entry Points into Enterprise AI
Organisations often start with simple AI agents for quick wins, then evolve to API-based solutions for deeper integration, customisation, scalability, and strategic impact.
To adopt AI with confidence, start with a discovery session, assess readiness with Pathfinder, pilot small projects, define compliance needs, train teams, review infrastructure, appoint an AI lead, and build a clear roadmap.
Why Understanding This Difference is Critical
Leaders must distinguish consumer from enterprise AI—misusing the former risks poor performance, compliance issues, and missed opportunities, while familiarity with consumer AI helps build literacy, ease adoption, and pave the way for enterprise success.
This diagram shows how organisations start with simple AI agents, then transition to powerful, scalable API-based solutions for deeper integration, advanced analytics, and long-term value.
