“Varied-Size Window Attention (VSA).128 It allows AI to adapt its focus dynamically. Picture an adjustable pair of glasses that lets you zoom in on fine details when needed and zoom out to take in the broader context. VSA provides AI with this flexibility, creating “windows” of varying sizes depending on the task requirements.”

“A senior operations manager at a manufacturing company shared, “The most valuable skill I’ve developed isn’t coding or prompt engineering—it’s being able to map out end-to-end processes and identify where agents can have the biggest impact across our operation.”

“As an outcome, based on our experience, the leading practice is to use low-code and smart workflow platforms as a foundation of the overall automation platform. In contrast, RPA is used for any integration of the overall platform with legacy systems or for automation of bespoke processes.”

“Let’s try an experiment. Prompt four times in a row your preferred LLM-based AI Chatbot (such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) with the following: ”Complete this sentence with the name of one tool: In order to edit an image, as an AI agent, I need to use ___”

“Deloitte survey also shows that the benefits of adopting IA are significant. Participants reported that payback was less than 12 months, with an average of 20% of full-time equivalent (FTE) capacity provided by IA programs. Automation met and even exceeded expectations in many areas, including improved compliance (92%), quality and accuracy (90%), productivity (86%), and reduced costs (59%).35 According to a study by Statista, 84% of business organizations adopt AI because it gives them a competitive advantage over their rivals.36”

“we’ve found that users need to develop a keen awareness of potential cascade effects. Effective users learn to: Regularly ask agents to explain their dependencies on other agents’ outputs Request periodic system-wide consistency checks Set up explicit checkpoints for human validation of critical decisions Monitor for signs of error amplification across the system”

“First, current AI systems lack the ability to communicate with other systems, take coordinated action, and adapt to changing situations in real-time. Second, they lack the ability to proactively identify needs and take initiative. This forces humans into an inefficient and often dangerous role: acting as integration points between AI systems.”

“Tool Access Paradox.” The more tools an agent has access to, the more capable it becomes—but also, the more potential exists for security breaches or operational mistakes.”

“IA not only makes transaction processes more efficient, but it also generates log files for every action, creating transparency and ease of compliance. Machine learning leverages the digital information created by these programs to recognize predictive patterns and project trends.”

“Algorithms are to white-collar workers what tractors were to farmers: a tool to dramatically increase the productivity of each worker, and thus shrink the total number of workers required to produce the same output. But unlike tractors, algorithms can be shipped instantly around the world at no additional cost. Once an algorithm has been sent out to millions of users, it can be continuously updated and improved with no need to create a new physical product.”

“All businesses are going digital: the winners will be those who do so the quickest and to the greatest extent. It may be informed speculation to say the landscape of companies will change dramatically over the next few decades. Still, one thing is sure: the winners – even the survivors – will be highly automated, with the bare minimum of human involvement.”

“These early adopters aren’t merely experimenting—they’re achieving remarkable results. Microsoft, for instance, reported a 9.4% increase in revenue per seller and 20% more closed deals using AI agents in their sales function. In the financial sector, JPMorgan deployed agents that reduced fraud by an impressive 70%. These success stories are encouraging more companies to explore similar implementations.”

“But here’s the paradox that’s holding most organizations back: We’ve built generative AI systems that can think brilliantly but can’t actually do anything. They can analyze complex data in seconds, write compelling presentations, and offer brilliant insights on any topic. Yet they can’t press a button, send an email, or make a simple reservation. We’ve created a world of brilliant advisors who can’t lift a finger to help.”

“This characteristic of LLMs is called stochasticity. It refers to the randomness inherent in the way LLMs generate responses. These models don’t produce the exact same answer every time, even when asked the same question.”
