Building AI Agents Emerges as Art and Science Challenge for Enterprise

AI agents are moving from experimental laboratories into enterprise workflows, but mastering their deployment requires combining scientific rigor with careful engineering judgment. OpenAI unveiled Dots this week—always-on autonomous agents powered by GPT-6 Astra that operate 24/7 across more than 4,000 applications—marking a watershed moment for agent adoption in business. The rollout directly challenges Meta's competing Muse agents and signals that major AI companies now view autonomous agent systems as ready for mainstream deployment.
