The Latest Agentic Development

Davos: AI Agents Named a $236B Market

Agentic AI could represent a $236 billion market by 2034 and unlock around $3 trillion in corporate productivity gains, according to new analysis shared at Davos 2026. Leaders framed this upside as contingent on building trust, safety, and clear governance around autonomous agents mediating work and consumer interactions. For enterprise teams, this positions agentic AI as a board-level transformation topic rather than a side experiment.

Clawdbot Emerges as a Breakout Open-Source Personal AI Agent Phenomenon

Clawdbot continues to capture attention in the AI agent ecosystem as an open-source, locally-run agent that integrates with messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and iMessage, letting users interact with an LLM-powered assistant through familiar chat interfaces while retaining data control on their own hardware. Built by Peter Steinberger, the project has amassed thousands of stars on GitHub and is being praised for its persistent memory, proactive automation, extensibility via plugins, and ability to perform real tasks (e.g., filesystem operations, calendar/email actions) from a messaging gateway a significant indicator of “agent as operating system” ambition.

Stripe Launches Agentic Commerce Suite

Stripe previewed an Agentic Commerce Suite designed to make retailers “agent‑ready” by connecting their product catalogs to Stripe and letting them choose which AI agents to sell through. Stripe then handles checkout, payments, fraud detection, and order event delivery so merchants can keep their existing commerce stack. This is a critical piece of financial infrastructure for agentic commerce, allowing commerce agents to transact safely without merchants rebuilding payments from scratch.

Goldman Sachs: “Agent-As-A-Service” Economy

Goldman Sachs forecasts a shift from billing hours of human labor to billing token consumption by hybrid teams of humans and multi-agent AI systems. In this “agent-as-a-service” model, companies will deploy fleets of specialized agents orchestrated by humans to handle complex workflows. For the agent economy, this frames tokens, not time, as the core economic unit of work.

Gartner: Multi-Agent Systems As 2026 Priority

New Gartner-aligned analysis highlights multi-agent systems as a top technology trend for 2026, enabling modular, scalable automation across business functions instead of isolated AI tools. These systems coordinate specialized agents for forecasting, procurement, compliance, and exception handling in real time within governance controls. Organizations that invest early in data foundations, governance, and cross‑team readiness are expected to capture outsized value from these deployments.

ServiceNow and OpenAI Partner for GPT-5.2 Agent Integration

ServiceNow has finalized a multi-year strategic partnership with OpenAI to embed the new GPT-5.2 model directly into the Now Platform, focusing on the deployment of autonomous AI agents for enterprise workflows. The collaboration aims to accelerate AI agent innovation in IT and HR, including the development of innovative real-time speech-to-speech agents that operate without text intermediation. This deep integration reinforces ServiceNow's position as a control layer for agentic enterprise workflows, moving AI from advisory to actionable.
