The biggest paradigm shift in 2026 is the transition from AI assistants that respond to prompts to AI agents that autonomously execute multi-step tasks.
Gartner predicts that 40% of enterprise applications will feature task-specific AI agents by 2026.
Companies are rapidly transitioning to an “orchestrated workforce” model where a primary orchestrator agent directs smaller, expert agents — mirroring a well-managed human team.
