McKinsey – Seizing the Agentic AI Advantage, Jun 2025

The document focuses on the use of agentic technologies in artificial intelligence (AI) to overcome the generative AI paradox, which involves widespread technology adoption with minimal business impact.

The main emphasis is on integrating AI into core company processes to achieve significant outcomes. Key takeaways include the need for agentic AI to be integrated into core business processes to become a catalyst for transformation rather than just an auxiliary tool. A strategy and plan are necessary for the successful implementation of agentic technologies. It is important to rethink how decisions are made and how people interact with technology to ensure effective and safe AI use. Technologies for creating powerful agents already exist, and now it is important to implement them with a focus on value creation and human interaction.
