Everyone wants an AI agent now.

But here’s the uncomfortable part:

Most companies don’t need “an agent.”
They need a workflow fixed.

OpenAI’s new Deployment Company is literally built around embedding AI specialists inside companies to find high-impact AI use cases, not randomly throwing agents at everything.

That says a lot.

Before building an AI agent, ask:

• What task should disappear?

• What decision should speed up?

• What system should it connect to?

• What mistake would be expensive?

If you’re thinking beyond demos, start here.

Question: Are companies solving problems with agents, or just rebranding automation?
