The Latest Agentic Development
Analysts predict 2026 as the breakthrough year for business AI returns, driven by agentic systems automating complex tasks and enabling new commerce models. Deloitte reports only 11% of organizations currently run agents in production, but adoption is accelerating amid mandatory AI training forecasts. This shift could double US economic growth while reshaping enterprise workflows.
Agentic AI demands fundamental organizational changes in work design, decision-making, and value creation, pushing beyond pilots to full integration. Experts warn companies ignoring this wave risk obsolescence as autonomous agents handle multi-step processes at scale. Strategic implications include new governance models to manage rogue agent risks.

Salesforce expanded Agentforce 360 to let partners build/package/sell agents with 500+ pre-built features, plus revamped data access (Data 360 / “zero copy” partner network) to reduce brittle ETL and speed production deployments. Salesforce also highlighted new commercialization mechanics (usage visibility + flexible pricing) and teased a Partner Marketplace App in Q1 2026 to streamline provisioning, billing, and order-to-cash.
Wix announced an integration with Stripe’s Agentic Commerce Suite, pitching a single low-code setup for merchants to sell “across multiple AI agents” as AI-driven shopping fragments storefront discovery. Strategically, it’s another sign that major commerce platforms are racing to become “agent-ready” distribution rails rather than waiting for standards to settle.
