Summary
Forrester research reveals that while 75% of enterprise leaders claim to be adopting agentic AI, very few have moved beyond pilot phases into meaningful production deployments. The analyst firm notes that vendors are aggressively rebranding products as "agentic" despite most organizations remaining stuck between experimentation and actual business value. Forrester predicts that by 2026, long-horizon agents will become a reality, marking a significant milestone for the technology.
