Analyst report Gartner: Emerging Tech: Avoid Agentic AI Failure: Build Success Using Right Use Cases

Agentic AI is powerful — but only when it fits the problem. Before you invest in agent-based automation, make sure it’s solving the right business challenge.

Agentic AI — autonomous agents that act with minimal human oversight — are generating huge interest. When used effectively, they can drive real business value. But if applied to the wrong use case, they can just as easily stall progress, sink resources, and erode trust in AI initiatives.

Misapplication is one of the top reasons agentic AI efforts fail.

If AI is on your roadmap, this resource can help you make better decisions, avoid hype-driven missteps, and focus on scalable success. This is how you gain momentum.
