Episode Details

This video takes a hard look at the messy truth behind agentic AI in the enterprise — and why it feels like someone is lying to you. On one side, big tech vendors, cloud providers, and global consultancies are screaming that "2025 is the year of the AI agent," boasting about customers "deploying thousands of agents" across customer service, IT operations, and back‑office functions with massive efficiency gains. On the other side, independent analysts and people actually building this stuff say most organizations are still stuck in early pilots, that real value is limited to a narrow set of tightly scoped workflows, and that a lot of what's sold as "agents" is just old automation with an LLM slapped on the front.

In this video, I unpack those two conflicting narratives, show where each one is coming from, and explain why the hype machine has such a strong incentive to tell you the revolution is already here. We'll talk about agent washing, the lack of standards, and the very real risk of a trust crash between enterprises and their technology providers. If you're tired of being sold a future as if it's already reality, this one's for you.
