One thing I’ve learned is that it doesn’t take much for expectations to reset. If you’re an iPhone user, you probably disliked the redesign of Photos in iOS 18. You may have even complained about it to friends. But after a week or two, it just became the new normal and you moved forward.

Agentic AI is on the same path. As both consumers and employees, our expectations of how work gets done are about to fundamentally change.

# What agentic AI really means

Most consumers’ and businesses’ experience with AI to date has been through generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
