The “Generative AI Is Eating The World” message is everywhere, followed closely by articles professing doom with titles like “MIT Study says 95% of AI pilots fail!”. As it is with most things in life, neither extreme view is entirely accurate. So what is still missing from AI systems?

Three things. The exemplary interface, beyond chat. An architecture that connects knowing with doing. And proof of value, where both users and providers win. Leave one out, and your AI project will not succeed.
Co-pilots and prompts alone are not sufficient. Business processes are more complex than simply asking questions to an AI model; they are about taking action. “Show me recurring revenue” is a helpful prompt; “Manage the A/P payment process” creates value.

Most business value is not found using chat models; the value is in the workflow. The orchestration of the entire process, with traceable data collection, auditable processing, and real-time reporting dashboards. In business terms, AI Agents take action to fuse data, adapt to your business in real time, encode policy and compliance rules, and orchestrate the right AI model for the job based upon cost, performance, jurisdiction, or application domain.

No project will find success without a self-reinforcing value ecosystem. At iClerk, every agent we deploy must demonstrate improved data quality, increased data velocity, and, at the same time, decrease associated costs. And the results are profound: employees become force multipliers, margins improve, and business can scale.

Your business does not need another dashboard. You need an iClerk Agent that does the work, with provable accuracy. Amplify your judgment with iClerk AI Agents.
