Recently, the new term "AI Agent" has frequently appeared in the public eye, and market consulting firm Gartner has even listed it as the top ten strategic technology trends for 2025. The industry believes that the era of Agentic AI is coming soon, and 2025 is expected to become the first year of commercial application of AI agents. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, AI agents have been given a new definition: they refer to intelligent agents that have the ability to actively think and act, work in a human like way, "understand" user needs through large models, actively "plan" to achieve goals, use various "tools" to complete tasks, and ultimately "act" to execute these tasks. According to Gartner's forecast, by 2028, 15% of daily work decisions are expected to be made through Agentic AI. Domestic and foreign artificial intelligence companies are making efforts in the field of AI agents. Recently, OpenAI, an American artificial intelligence enterprise, released an agent called Operator. OpenAI described it as an agent that can perform tasks for users online. Users only need to input requirements, and the Operator can complete tasks such as restaurant reservation, purchase of daily necessities, and reservation of tickets for competitions. Prior to this, domestic artificial intelligence enterprise Zhipu AI had also launched its autonomous agent AutoGLM, which can replace users in performing operations on electronic devices and cover daily functions such as online chat, online shopping, social networking, maps, hotels, train booking, etc. Influenced by OpenAI's release of Operator Agent and other news, the concept of AI Agent has recently become a hot topic in the capital market, and many software enterprises and Internet enterprises related to the concept of AI Agent have also received wide attention. The advent of the Agentic AI era will completely change people's work and lifestyle Sun Taoyong, Chairman and CEO of Weimeng Group, believes that AI agents will be able to independently and effectively perform work tasks, becoming an indispensable positive force in enterprises. In the future, every enterprise will have Agent digital employees. Therefore, Weimeng hopes to have tens of thousands of Agent digital employees in the future to improve overall efficiency, while actively exploring new business layouts for AI Agents in the To B and To C dimensions. Taking the e-commerce industry as an example, in the era of Agentic AI, the functional architecture and value chain of the e-commerce industry will undergo significant changes. Traditional e-commerce operations require numerous positions, such as designers, product operators, community operators, etc. With the introduction of AI agents, e-commerce companies will have numerous agent digital employees in the future, forming a new mode of human-machine collaboration. Pan Micro Network, headquartered in Shanghai, recently launched its intelligent brain Xiao The AI platform is built on a combination of large models, small models, and intelligent agents, which can help enterprises and institutions achieve digital upgrades in various business scenarios, and equip employees with intelligent assistants that work 24 hours a day without interruption. According to the person in charge of Pan Micro Network, Pan Micro Smart Brain is equipped with more than 50 relatively universal intelligent agent application services, such as AI Q&A, AI search, AI recognition, AI collection, AI approval, AI summarization and other functions, which can better serve the intelligent upgrading of user business scenarios. Based on the current development trend, Pan Micro Network believes that 2025 will be the initial launch year of intelligent agent applications, and by 2026, intelligent agent applications may enter a rapid growth stage. In the field of intelligent manufacturing, AI agents are also accelerating their implementation. Not long ago, Dingjie Shuzhi, a provider of enterprise digital transformation solutions, launched Indepth AI, an enterprise level intelligent agent platform, relying on its "Athena" AI platform. It specializes in providing diversified AI capabilities for enterprise users to promote the digitalization process of manufacturing enterprises. Ye Zizhen, Chairman and President of Dingjie Digital Intelligence, stated that artificial intelligence agents are no longer just imagined concepts, but have entered a new stage. They have gradually evolved from human driven to process driven, model driven, and data-driven, and will eventually cross the gap and enter the native stage of digital intelligence. In response to the current trend of AI agent development, Tianfeng Securities recently released a research report stating that looking ahead to 2025, the exponential growth of AI agent and inference demand is expected to lead the first year of large-scale AI applications, continue to promote the expansion of software product capability boundaries, and empower enterprises to achieve more efficient operation and cost optimization. Combining big models with future technological advancements in AI agents, intelligent application scenarios will accelerate expansion, helping enterprise level markets achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
