Six stages from helpful chatbots to autonomous global systems — hover to explore each phase
Individuals discover AI assistants for writing, coding, questions.
One human + one AI = slightly faster work. Adoption spreads through curiosity. Organizations scramble to understand what employees are pasting into chat windows.
AI moves from chat windows into workflows. Copilots everywhere.
AI reads your calendar, drafts emails, suggests next actions. Human approval still required — but decisions are increasingly pre-made by the assistant.
AI that takes actions: browses web, runs code, calls APIs, operates tools.
The assistant becomes an agent. It doesn't just suggest — it executes. Book the flight. Deploy the code. File the report. Humans shift from doers to supervisors.
Your AI talks to their AI. Scheduling, negotiation, coordination — automated.
Your procurement agent negotiates with supplier agents. Your scheduling agent coordinates with client agents. Humans approve outcomes, not steps. APIs become agent protocols.
Companies run on agent infrastructure. Speed of commerce: 100x.
Businesses without agents can't compete with businesses that have them. Supply chains self-optimize. Market responses happen in minutes. Human roles shift to strategy and exception handling.
Self-improving mesh connecting governments, corporations, infrastructure.
Agent networks discover inefficiencies, implement solutions, measure results, iterate — before human oversight catches up. Cycles that took quarters now take hours. Policy that took years now takes days.
