?? The rise of AI agents is transforming how we build, lead, and scale businesses. Below, is the summary of my recent conversation with Sara Davison & Tyler Fisk , AI thought leaders, practitioners, and instructors of a high-demand AI course (How To Scale A Business With AI & Agentic Workflows) on Maven, shedding light on why Agentic AI will be a game-changer in 2025 and how product leaders and founders can prepare for this shift.
?? Why This Matters Now
?? AI-related job listings have surged 75x in the last two years.
?? 66% of business leaders won’t hire candidates without AI skills.
?? 71% of executives prefer AI-literate candidates, even with less experience.
AI isn’t just a technical revolution—it’s a business imperative.
?? From AI Assistants to AI Agents
We’re witnessing a shift from AI assistants (which require human oversight) to AI agents that act autonomously, with the ability to:
? Make decisions & take action without constant human input.
? Retain memory and learn from past tasks.
? Break down complex workflows and execute them systematically.
? Integrate with business tools to deliver measurable results.
The key differentiator? Agency. Instead of just responding to commands, AI agents proactively drive outcomes.
?? Agentic AI: The Operating System of the Future
The most successful AI-driven businesses will move beyond isolated tools and embrace Agentic AI as a core part of their strategy. This means:
?? AI Agents – Goal-driven tools that plan, reason, and execute.
?? Agentic Workflows – Systems where multiple AI agents collaborate to achieve business goals.
?? Agentic AI Strategy – An operating system that integrates, evolves, and scales AI solutions intelligently.
The takeaway? AI isn’t just a tool anymore—it’s an evolving ecosystem that demands strategic implementation.
?? The Rise of the New AI Practitioner
Who will lead this transformation? A new type of AI professionals:
?? Strategist – Identifies AI-driven opportunities for growth.
?? Translator – Bridges AI capabilities with business needs.
?? Implementer – Ensures AI delivers measurable impact.
Surprisingly, these roles do not require coding skills. It’s about understanding AI workflows, business integration, and implementation strategy.
?? The Agentic AI Adoption Roadmap
How do businesses successfully transition to Agentic AI? It’s a phased journey:
?? Phase 1 – Laying the groundwork: Understand AI fundamentals, business alignment, and prompt engineering.
?? Phase 2 – AI Application: Build custom AI assistants and integrate second-brain workflows.
?? Phase 3 – AI Implementation: Design multi-step AI workflows and human-in-the-loop evaluations.
?? Phase 4 – AI Optimization & Scaling: Improve quality, establish feedback loops, and automate at scale.
Mastering these skills will be a 1% differentiator in 2025.
?? Key Takeaways for Founders & Product Leaders
1?? AI is becoming a strategic advantage—leaders who embrace it now will shape the next era of business.
2?? Agentic AI is not just a tool—it’s an operating system for how companies scale.
3?? The best AI practitioners aren’t just engineers—they’re business leaders who understand workflows, integration, and automation.
The companies that adopt, experiment, and optimize Agentic AI today will be tomorrow’s market leaders.
