State of AI Agents

The agentic AI playbook for the enterprise

AI agents are starting to show what they can really do. Everyone’s talking about them, but only a small percentage of companies have agents in production. What does it take to get AI agents to work for your business? What are the leading companies doing differently than those that are stagnating?

The 2026 State of AI Agents report shares the latest in enterprise AI, including the most common use cases, database transformation and high priorities like governance and evaluation. See how more than 20,000 organizations worldwide on the Data Intelligence Platform — including over 60% of the Fortune 500 — are building their agent strategies.

Key findings:

  • AI is now part of critical workflows across industries
  • Enterprises are transitioning from single chatbots to multi-agent systems, which grew by 327% in less than four months
  • More than 80% of databases are built by AI agents — driving the need for a new kind of database
  • Companies that use evaluation tools get nearly 6x more AI projects into production. For those using AI governance, it’s over 12x more.
