AI INSIGHTS
🤖 State of AI Agents
Source: LangChain
LangChain surveyed over 1,300 professionals, including engineers, product managers, business leaders, and executives, to understand the current use of AI agents. This data shows how people are using (or not using) AI agents today.
Key takeaways:
About half (51%) of professionals use AI agents in their work. Mid-sized companies (100–2,000 employees) are leading, with 63% using them. Additionally, 78% plan to start using AI agents soon.
AI agents are mainly used for research and summarizing information (58%), personal productivity tasks (53.5%), and customer service (45.8%).
To keep AI agents reliable, organizations focus on tracking their actions, using monitoring tools, and involving humans in oversight.
The main difficulties are integrating AI agents into existing systems, maintaining control over their actions, and ensuring they perform consistently.
Why it matters: Companies are racing to use AI agents, aiming to improve decision-making and productivity. While enthusiasm is high, they know it’s important to set up strong controls for these new tools. Teams are carefully testing frameworks to ensure high-quality, accurate agent responses. Looking forward, companies that can create reliable, controllable agents will lead the way in AI innovation and set future standards for smart automation.

AI CHART
More AI leaders are now reporting directly to the CEO (Growing from 17% to 31% in just a year) → It shows that AI is becoming more important to company strategy and gives AI leaders better chances for career growth, as CEOs and their direct team are often prioritized in executive development plans.
However, many AI leaders still report to other high-level executives but cross-department collaboration is essential to prevent duplication and manage risks.
Also encouraging is that 71% of AI leaders feel they have enough access to the board, and their confidence in the board’s ability to handle AI-related issues is rising.
Organizations manage AI in various ways: some fully embed it, others use a mixed approach, and some bring in temporary experts from outside. Each choice has its pros and cons, so leaders should pick the model that best aligns with their goals to get effective results by answering these questions:
Business strategy: What strategic goals will AI enable?
Data: Who owns and ensures the quality and accessibility of data?
AI strategy: What are the initiatives or use cases for implementing AI in support of strategic goals? Which ones are priorities?
AI implementation: Which units will implement AI, and who owns each plan—business or AI leaders?
Tech stack: Who manages the tech stack and vendor relationships?
