However, their adoption is growing rapidly as enterprise-level businesses recognize their ability to do the things that their human reps either <strong>1) <\/strong>don\u2019t have the time to do or <strong>2)<\/strong> no longer can do (not because they\u2019re not equipped to, but because they\u2019re focusing on more high-impact, strategic tasks and requests).<\/p>\n<p>At the core of all AI agents is the capability to streamline decision-making and problem-solving efforts, making operations \u2014 no matter what department they\u2019re happening in \u2014 easier, faster, and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/sales\/ai-time-savers-in-sales\">less time-consuming<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, <em>mostly<\/em> every AI agent can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Analyze<\/strong> data<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automate<\/strong> tasks<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make intelligent decisions<\/strong> (based on predefined rules or machine learning models)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Answer<\/strong> common queries<\/li>\n<li><strong>Detect<\/strong> anomalies (like fraud or security threats)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Beyond these functions, AI agents can also learn and adapt over time. Through machine learning, they refine their responses, optimize processes, and improve efficiency based on patterns, feedback, and data. This makes them an ideal investment for businesses looking to enhance productivity, reduce manual work, and make data-informed choices faster.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still much to learn about AI agents, from how they serve businesses and employees to the long-term impact of their integration across industries.

But beyond just the numbers, what exactly are these AI agents doing to drive such impact? And what should enterprise-level businesses know before investing in this new tech?<\/p>\n<p>I tapped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jeanniejaworski\/\">Jeannie Jaworski<\/a>, Senior Customer Success Manager at HubSpot, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/wesley-baum-5864622b4\/\">Wesley Baum<\/a>, AI Specialist at Bluleadz, for answers to your (likely) questions, comments, and concerns. Scroll through the next few sections to read what they said.<\/p>\n<p><a><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>What do AI agents do?<\/h2>\n<p>AI agents can do many things, but their effectiveness in delivering results all depends on how they\u2019re programmed. Still, regardless of their assigned function or industry application, AI agents, ultimately, have been designed to work collaboratively \u2014 both with each other and with employees.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/web-stil.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/enterprise-AI-use-cases-2-20250321-2995839.webp\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width: 650px;height: auto;max-width: 100%\" title=\"\" alt=\"a hubspot-branded graphic of wesley baum, a customer success manager at bluleadz\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I chatted with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jeanniejaworski\/\">Jeannie Jaworski<\/a>, Senior Customer Success Manager (North America) at HubSpot, to get her honest perspective on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How her clients have been <strong>adapting to the emergence of AI agents<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>What primary concerns she\u2019s come across <\/strong>with her own customers<\/li>\n<li><strong>What she\u2019s been recommending <\/strong>to ensure the businesses she serves engage both AI agents (and human ones) with balance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check out what she had to say below:<\/p>\n<h3>1. AI agents are here to improve how your reps work, not replace them.<\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/web-stil.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/enterprise-AI-use-cases-3-20250321-2866245.webp\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width: 650px;height: auto;max-width: 100%\" title=\"\" alt=\"a quote from jeannie jaworski, customer success manager at hubspot\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When Jeannie and I got to chit-chatting, one of the first things I probed her about was the challenges she\u2019s seen her clients face while onboarding AI agents into their business. She told me (candidly, of course) that the thing folks worry about most is likely the same fear you\u2019ve already seen splashed across tons of news headlines: that AI is going to replace human reps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there is still a level of concern about people wanting to make sure this doesn\u2019t replace their job,\u201d she told me. And although she acknowledged this widespread concern, Jeannie also made it very clear that she knows there\u2019s a different, more empowering way to look at the rise of AI.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that [AI agents] are really valuable if you can see, like, your employees are already doing things that they don\u2019t like to do because of the repetition involved, so those are the things you can outsource to the agent. So it\u2019s definitely not replacing an employee, it\u2019s just allowing employees to focus on things that do require the human touch, instead of the things that can be automated.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>2. If you collect data now, your AI agents (and your human ones) will reap the rewards later.<\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/web-stil.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/enterprise-AI-use-cases-4-20250321-6178861.webp\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width: 650px;height: auto;max-width: 100%\" title=\"\" alt=\"a quote from jeannie jaworski, customer success manager at hubspot\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, at the tail-end of our conversation, I asked Jeannie about what advice would she give to other enterprise-level businesses considering AI agents, and what factors should they evaluate before implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Her response was indicative of two things:<strong> 1)<\/strong> data is everything and <strong>2) <\/strong>you can\u2019t measure AI effectiveness in a vacuum, then expect a clear path to meaningful improvement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really important for you to be collecting data, not just about the AI agents\u2019 performance, but the human agents\u2019 performance,\u201d Jeannie shared. She then further explained, \u201cA lot of these tools \u2014 like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hubspot.com\/products\/artificial-intelligence\">HubSpot\u2019s Breeze AI customer agent<\/a> \u2014 will have built-in analytics to tell you about the quantity of the chats, the amount they were able to resolve on their own \u2026 all of that is built in. But if you haven\u2019t built that out for your human agents, you won\u2019t have anything to compare [that data] to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeannie went on to emphasize how getting granular with these data assessments is crucial to identifying areas for growth, pinpointing performance gaps, and, most importantly, enhancing the overall customer experience. \u201cIt\u2019s important to [measure] things like CSAT to understand the satisfaction that your customers have when interacting with both your human and AI agents,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we\u2019re not understanding how our human agents are able to respond and how customers feel about that, we\u2019re missing the opportunity to see the success and the impact of responsiveness that AI agents have on a business\u2019s customer experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>How To Build an AI Agent, According to Wesley Baum, Bluleadz\u2019s AI Specialist<\/h2>\n<p>Wesley Baum, Bluleadz\u2019s AI Specialist, knows <em>everything<\/em> there is to know about building and deploying enterprise AI agents.

Here\u2019s an overview of the most valuable insights that Wesley shared with me below:<\/p>\n<h3>1. The hardest part about building an AI agent? Knowing what\u2019s needed to make it thrive.<\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/web-stil.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/enterprise-AI-use-cases-6-20250321-1696971.webp\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width: 650px;height: auto;max-width: 100%\" title=\"\" alt=\"a quote from wesley baum, ai specialist at bluleadz\" \/><\/p>\n<p>During our conversation, I asked Wesley about the key steps involved in building an AI agent and, more importantly, what challenges he\u2019s seen typically arise for businesses as they seek to customize an AI agent for their specific needs and workflows.<\/p>\n<p>He shared that there are a couple of main components when building an agent. They\u2019re as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Picking the right model.<\/strong> According to Wesley, these decisions often come down to an \u201cintelligence versus price ratio.\u201d For example, depending on what you need your AI agent to do, you might not need to spend copious amounts of money on a high-end, more expensive model with extra reasoning capabilities right away.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prompting. <\/strong>Wesley says \u201cprompting isn\u2019t super important these days, but it still matters.\u201d Prompting success primarily depends on providing context, however, the rules can change based on the model. Wesley recommends building out context through retrieval augmented generation, aka <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hubspot.com\/startups\/tech-stacks-\/ai\/retrieval-augmented-generation\">RAG<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Providing a role\/use case<\/strong>. As Wesley put it, \u201cYou have to give [your AI agent] as much information as you would provide to a human employee.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you have all these pillars in place, Wesley says you can then start building out the AI agent of your dreams. He explained, \u201cOnce you have a model selected, you have your prompting and your roll down; you\u2019ve identified a use case, of course, for this agent, you gave it their context using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hubspot.com\/startups\/tech-stacks-\/ai\/retrieval-augmented-generation\">RAG systems<\/a>, you actually have to build out the tools, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wesley then went on to share that this component of building an AI agent is more varied but, truthfully, not as complex.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally, it\u2019s just certain APIs,\u201d he added. Generative AI APIs are just application programming interfaces that allow developers to integrate AI models capable of creating content \u2014 such as text, images, code, or audio \u2014 into their own apps, tools, or platforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of the agents that [businesses] are going to get value from, that enterprise solutions are going to build upon, will be through orchestrating APIs. Because it\u2019s consistent,\u201d he told me. \u201cAnd so, those APIs are the tools in which an agent would interact with your text and the same way that you would interact with the UI.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>2. When it comes to building a proficient AI agent, it\u2019s all about data.<\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/web-stil.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/enterprise-AI-use-cases-7-20250321-7012843.webp\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width: 650px;height: auto;max-width: 100%\" title=\"\" alt=\"a quote from wesley baum, ai specialist at bluleadz\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When I asked Wesley about what challenges he\u2019s seen his clients face the most when implementing an AI agent, he pointed out (similarly to Jeannie) one distinct thing: Data collection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest issue people don\u2019t expect is data. It\u2019s all about data,\u201d Wesley said. He even admitted that when he\u2019s onboarding customers onto HubSpot\u2019s CRM, the first thing he asks about is data architecture.<\/p>\n<p>He also emphasized that he isn\u2019t afraid to ask super specific questions, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Is your data built to handle AI initiatives? <\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Do you have duplicate properties? <\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Is your architecture not set up properly? <\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Do you have quality issues? <\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Are you integrating all of your different data sources and tech stack software that a human would use into one source of truth?<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cAll of this is very useful because, without proper data, ChatGPT\u2019s not gonna change your business unless it\u2019s built specifically for that, which is reliant upon your data quality.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>3. There will be a rising demand for customized, business-specific AI agent ecosystems.<\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/web-stil.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/enterprise-AI-use-cases-8-20250321-6510961.webp\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width: 650px;height: auto;max-width: 100%\" title=\"\" alt=\"a quote from wesley baum, ai specialist at bluleadz\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lastly, toward the end of our one-on-one conversation, I asked Wesley about how he anticipates AI agents evolving in the next few years and what emerging trends enterprises should pay attention to when considering AI adoption.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did he keep it real with me but, furthermore, he underscored how personalization and scalability, inevitably, go hand-in-hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[AI agents] have to be customized specifically to how every business does business,\u201d he stated. \u201cOne-size-fits-all agents \u2026 they\u2019re not going to dramatically change your business with AI. It will have an impact, but it won\u2019t be transformative in the way that an eco-system of multi-agent systems \u2014 all working well within your tech stack, for your clients, for your products, communicating with your teams \u2014 would. All of it has to be customized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>AI Agents Use Cases<\/h2>\n<p>Just like Jeannie affirmed earlier, AI agents aren\u2019t here to take over the world, steal jobs, or make things harder for sales and customer service folks. However, they <em>are<\/em> here to simplify experiences, both for customers and employees.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a list of ways AI agents are making things \u2014 whether it be your workflow or a customer\u2019s journey \u2014 a whole lot easier, whether it be through integrating with other platforms (like your choice CRM software), accessing pre-existing knowledge bases, or diagnosing common issues.<\/p>\n<p>Read through my full breakdown of what AI agents can do \u2014 along with customer-facing and employee-facing examples \u2014 below:<\/p>\n<h3>1. AI agents can answer knowledge queries.<\/h3>\n<p>No more digging through old docs or waiting on hold. With AI agents, the info is accessible whenever its needed.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s an employee trying to understand internal policy or a customer looking for product support, AI agents can pull from vast knowledge bases to serve answers in real time.<\/p>\n<h3>2. AI agents can manage calendars.<\/h3>\n<p>AI agents can automate scheduling tasks, reducing back-and-forth coordination and streamlining time management. Honestly, it\u2019s like having a personal assistant who actually lives in your calendar.<\/p>\n<p>They check availability, avoid conflicts, and send invites before you even remember the meeting exists.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a booking bot schedules consultations or demos by syncing with your team\u2019s real-time availability. It could also automatically schedule follow-up meetings after a sales call and blocks focus time for important tasks.<\/p>\n<h3>3. AI agents can reset account information (like usernames or passwords).<\/h3>\n<p>No more \u201cforgot password\u201d loops of doom. AI agents can securely verify identity and walk users through simple account recovery steps \u2014 without human intervention.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a self-service assistant can help users (or employees) reset login credentials quickly, even after working hours.<\/p>\n<h3>4. AI agents can summarize meeting conversations.<\/h3>\n<p>Forget scribbling notes while someone\u2019s talking \u2014 AI agents have perfect recall.<\/p>\n<p>They can analyze meeting transcripts in real time and generate concise summaries, action items, and follow-ups.<\/p>\n<p>For example, an AI assistant can capture internal meeting highlights and email a follow-up summary (with assigned tasks and deadlines &#8230; how slay is that?) to all meeting attendees.<\/p>\n<h3>5. AI agents can identify high-quality leads.<\/h3>\n<p>With AI agents, sales reps can spend less time guessing and spend more start closing.<\/p>\n<p>By analyzing behavioral data and engagement signals, AI agents can score and prioritize leads based on likelihood to convert.<\/p>\n<p>For example, after a discovery call, an AI agent can send a neatly packaged summary to the client, including next steps and discussed solutions.<\/p>\n<h3>6. AI agents can track a customer\u2019s lifecycle.<\/h3>\n<p>AI agents can follow a customer from their first interaction to post-purchase support, ensuring a personalized and consistent experience.They also remember the little things \u2014 like past purchases, preferences, and pain points.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if an AI agent is embedded into a CRM, sales reps can get a ranked list of warm leads in the CRM, complete with insights on intent signals and recent interactions.<\/p>\n<p><a><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>AI Agents for the Win?<\/h2>\n<p>So\u2026 are AI agents the magic wand for every enterprise problem ever? Not exactly. But are they a next-level tool that\u2019s already reshaping how businesses operate, scale, and support both employees and customers? Yeah. 100%.<\/p>\n<p>As I\u2019ve already re-iterated, AI agents <em>aren\u2019t<\/em> here to completely dismantle the workforce as we know it. However, they are here to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Take the <\/strong><strong><em>ugh<\/em><\/strong><strong> out of repetitive tasks<\/strong> (I\u2019m looking at anyone and everyone who works in sales or service)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make workflows smarter <\/strong>(and way less manual)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Give your team room to focus<\/strong> on the high-impact stuff<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Regardless of how you like to do work, AI agents are showing up, clocking in, and doing what needs to be done. At request, of course.<\/p>\n<p>So, the TL;DR on AI agents? They\u2019re not robots coming for your cubicle.
