How SaaS Teams Are Using AI Agents

Not all AI agents stick. This approach actually works.

I recently read a Gartner report that said over 40% of agentic AI projects could be scrapped by 2027, mostly because of high costs or unclear benefits.

That feels real.

I've seen startup founders set up shiny new AI bots only for them to fizzle out a few weeks later when they didn’t deliver.

But the flip side? Gartner also forecasts that by 2028, 33% of enterprise apps will include agentic AI, and at least 15% of work decisions will be made by these agents.

From what I’ve observed with content teams, the bots that stick aren’t flashy ones. They’re the humble helpers that take over a single repetitive task.

The moment a team offloads one repeatable step (think reminders, ticket routing, or recap emails) they get back time and space to focus on what really matters.

Takeaway:
• Pick one small but predictable task that’s eating your time.
• Add a basic agent to do it this week.
• Watch how much simpler your week becomes and whether it’s worth expanding next month.
