Supporting context
The article synthesizes market research, industry statistics, and commentary from Box CEO Aaron Levie to argue that AI adoption is accelerating faster than prior technology shifts like cloud computing. Kamil Banc draws on adoption data, pricing model trends, and market growth projections to support his practitioner recommendation that businesses abandon lengthy planning cycles and deploy AI agents on real workflows immediately. For business leaders, the practical application is to select one workflow, build an AI agent for it, measure results, and scale what works rather than waiting for perfect governance processes. The piece also highlights structural advantages for API-first SaaS companies and emerging AI opportunities in unstructured data domains like legal, healthcare, and financial services.
