“2025 will be the year of the AI agent. As agents grow richer in interactivity and start to reach across more than just text and into audio and visual elements, they will bring about a powerful cultural shift in how humans collaborate with AI. Agents are already quite good at augmenting and accelerating our work — in the next year, they will get even better at performing highly specific tasks, taking specialized actions, and integrating across products, all with humans in the loop.
I’m most excited to see agents becoming exponentially more sophisticated in how they can collaborate with teams to handle complex tasks. Agents are benefitting from rapidly evolving foundation models, reasoning over increasingly rich data sets, and gaining the ability to take more actions. These advancements will not only yield better results when handling tasks but also allow the agent to continually learn and handle increasingly complex problems, much like a human teammate or collaborator might. Our relationship with them will evolve, and we’ll see new forms of collaboration and communication on teams develop.”
