Report Highlights
1. The Rise of Software Agents
AI agents represent a shift in how software is designed and created, including how humans interact with software and the range of tasks that can be automated. We believe that the emergence of agentic AI could significantly transform industries by embedding intelligence into processes and workflows.
2. From SaaS to "Service as Software"
We explore how AI agents will drive a shift from software being primarily used as a tool for humans to complete a task towards software being an autonomous, digital employee that can complete the same task itself - a transition we call "Service as Software."
3. The End of SaaS?
Rather than being the end of SaaS, in our view, AI agents represent an inflection point that may help SaaS platforms evolve. We examine how this transition may drive changes in UI design, platform architecture, and pricing models.
4. Nine Agentic Challenges
We analyze nine key challenges facing agentic AI adoption, including reliability concerns, integration with existing systems, cost considerations, privacy requirements, security controls, explainability needs, legal questions and employee resistance.
5. Agentic Market Map
Our market map outlines the emerging landscape of agentic AI applications and infrastructure across industries and functions, including horizontal functional agents, vertical agents and the supporting infrastructure.
