The Core Challenge: Taming the AI Agent Beast
AI agents are exploding everywhere:- Vendors are shipping agents across platforms (SAP, Salesforce, Dynamics, ServiceNow, Monday…)
- Organizations are building agents in silos (HR, Finance, Operations, Facilities…)
- Employees are overwhelmed by hundreds of disconnected AI entry points
We risk repeating history:
In 2002, portal and intranet mania created fragmented experiences.
In 2026, we may be doing the same, but now with intelligence.
