And the market? It’s exploding. According to Roots Analysis, the global AI agents market is expected to go from USD 5.29 billion in 2024 to a whopping USD 216.8 billion by 2035. That’s a CAGR of 40.15%. I mean, that’s bonkers. It’s not just hype — there’s real momentum here.
Of course, it's not all sunshine. Some agents still get stuck, hallucinate stuff, or make weird choices if you’re not careful. And yeah, letting software act semi-independently brings up all sorts of questions — like, how do you audit it? What happens if it goes off-script? And how do we make sure it's actually helping people, not just pretending to?
But still… something about it feels like a shift. Not just another tech upgrade. A shift. Like we’re handing off some of the “figuring out” part of work, not just the repetitive tasks. And for someone like me — juggling ten tabs, five projects, and way too many Slack pings — that’s kind of appealing.
So yeah, I think AI agents are going to be a big deal. Maybe not in a “robots take over” kind of way, but more in a “this changes how we work” kind of way. And I’m curious to see where it goes next — cautiously optimistic, if that makes sense.
