AI Agents
Call Invitation:
State of AI Agents
Thursday, November 19, 2026 | 3:00 p.m. CT / 4:00 p.m. ET
AI agents now run everyday workflows inside companies and help customers research, compare, and buy outside them. To deliver, they need to understand how a business operates, what they're authorized to do, and how to transact securely across organizations.
This month’s three questions
1. How do companies turn AI agents into measurable results?
2. How do you stay in contention when an agent builds the shortlist?
3. Why do secure identity, verification, and transactions matter across organizations?
For operators
Put company knowledge and systems to work so agents add real capacity, and win customers whose shortlists are drawn up by AI.
For investors
Which businesses capture the value agents create, from operators using them to the infrastructure securing agent-to-agent work.

The State of AI Agents
Hamiz Awan
Managing Partner | 2 min read
AI agents are giving companies an opportunity to serve more customers, reduce operational costs, and make better use of their teams. For operators and investors, the opportunity lies in understanding where agents create measurable value and which businesses are best positioned to benefit.
“The strongest opportunities will combine useful technology with a clear business advantage.”
AI Agents and the Economics of Growth
AI agents are becoming part of how companies operate, serve customers, and compete for business. The opportunity is growing, but results depend on how well companies connect agents to their knowledge, systems, and processes to create more capacity and improve profitability.
