The question : what area of tech do you think has the best promise in 2025? My Response : the creation and development of AI agents will win markets and territories in 2025. Yes, companies are going to go big on AI agents to drive productivity, reduce cost and accelerate competitiveness. AI agents are higher machines, above AI workflows and simple automation machines.
For years, we have seen automations ( i.e. the use of technology to perform tasks with minimal human intervention, with the aim to streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and reduce human error) from the lens of boolean logic which is largely deterministic since things are predefined at the execution phases.

In 2024, simple automation machines evolved through the power of AI (artificial intelligence) to fuzzy logic like systems where deterministic cases have elements of flexibility. In other works, with AI workflows, you have the ability to execute deterministic assignments with more flexibility compared to what decades-old automation machines offered. Now, we’re entering the fledgling age of AI agents .
AI agents execute non-deterministic assignments in autonomous fashion, bringing elements of adaptability, with reasoning that approaches how humans work. .
