Agentic AI has emerged as the software industry’s latest shiny thing. Beyond smarter chatbots, AI agents operate with increasing autonomy, making them poised to drive efficiency gains across enterprises.
“Agentic refers to AI systems that can take actions on behalf of users, not just generate text or answer questions,” says Andrew McNamara, director of applied machine learning at Shopify. Agentic systems run continuously until a task is complete, he adds, citing Shopify’s Sidekick, a proactive agent for merchants.
Development of agentic AI now spans many business domains. According to Anthropic, a provider of large language models (LLMs), AI agents are most commonly deployed in software engineering, accounting for roughly half of use cases, followed by back-office automation, marketing, sales, finance, and data analysis.
“A concrete example is in IT incident resolution,” says Heath Ramsey, group VP of AI platform outbound product management at ServiceNow. In this context, AI agents sur

I counted at least 10 events in San Francisco last night aimed at matching AI startups with VCs. Just another Thursday.
But what made Camp AI’s “Agents at Work” event (hosted by Auth0) stand out was its showcase of companies that are in various stages of reorganizing their engineering processes around AI agents. Browserbase, Mastra, Fireworks AI, Drata, Mya, MindFort, and Corridor are all part of the vendor ecosystem trying to enable secure and performant agentic AI, but the most revelatory stories were their own successes and the challenges they faced restructuring their engineering orgs for agents.
Agentic AI is reshaping team structures
Paul Klein IV, founder and CEO of Browserbase, delivered the night’s most memorable line while discussing the speed of AI adoption inside engineering teams. “If AI is not doing your whole job it’s a skill issue at this point,” said Klein.
Abhi Aiyer, founder and CTO of Mastra, said the result is dramatically smaller teams capable of executing much l
