Thoughts and ideas on how to build tools, automate workflows and speed-up the workplace.
Interest in agentic AI has exploded over the past few years. In particular, businesses of all kinds are adopting AI agents to build efficiency, reliability, and scalability into their internal processes and workflows. However, as with all kinds of software tools, what an effective solution looks like can vary from one organization to the next. Indeed, a range of platforms have come to market in recent years for building and managing AI agents, but these often target very different segments and user personas.

AI agents are almost certainly the most talked-about new technology in the world of enterprise IT. This should be no surprise, as they offer almost unprecedented potential for efficiency gains and workflow improvements. It’s very reasonable to have concerns around this, given that AI agents may be connected to mission-critical systems and data, and are enabled to act autonomously. Of course, each of these things has serious security implications. So, today, we’re diving deep into AI agent security.

For IT teams, there’s a particular urgency about adopting AI solutions. Indeed, ITSM is one of the use cases where some of the most effective solutions for implementing AI have come to market. As you’d expect, it’s also one of the internal teams that stands to gain the most from intelligent, AI-driven processes. In particular, ITSM workflows are characterized by large volumes of repetitive tasks that often require contextual awareness and human reasoning.

AI workflow tools are becoming a more and more common feature of all sorts of internal processes. With new technologies and ever-greater pressure to maximize efficiency, these are fast becoming mission-critical. However, at the same time, this is becoming a highly crowded space. On the one hand, a number of vendors have brought solutions to market over the past few years, enabling us to implement AI within our workflows. On the other hand, AI-driven workflow automation is just one option among many for building efficiency within internal processes.

IT teams are under greater pressure than ever before. With tightening budgets and exploding demand for services, almost all teams are considering strategies to build efficiency into their internal processes. As a result, the need for effective ITSM automation has never been greater. However, this is a broad, highly varied topic. That is ITSM workflows present a range of different challenges, many of which are suitable to distinct automation approaches.

Today, there’s greater pressure than ever for organizations to achieve maximum efficiency across all sorts of workflows and processes. However, the landscape for how this can be achieved has shifted in recent years. Specifically, more and more teams are turning to AI-powered solutions where once they might have relied solely on traditional workflow automations. But does this mean that every automation use case should be replaced with an AI solution?

AI agents are becoming more and more common across businesses of all kinds. While the benefits of agentic AI are massive and well documented, their emergence nonetheless presents important challenges for developers. In large part, this comes down to the fact that agents are highly complex systems. To alleviate this, a range of tools are available to speed up and simplify the process of AI agent development. These vary in both scope and approach, aiming to empower a range of different user personas to create agentic systems.
