Questions to inspire discussion
AI Agent Types and Applications
🤖 Q: What are the main types of AI agents currently being used in businesses?
A: The 7 types of AI agents are: business-task agents (invoice processing, data entry), conversational agents (customer support), research agents (literature analysis), analytics agents (data insights), developer agents (code writing), domain-specific agents (legal, healthcare specialists), and browser-using agents (autonomous web interaction).
🌐 Q: How does the Model Context Protocol enhance AI agent capabilities?
A: The Model Context Protocol enables AI agents to connect to thousands of applications simultaneously, allowing them to perform tasks like reading emails, creating calendar events, pulling data from multiple systems, and sending updates without human intervention.
Economic Impact and Adoption
💼 Q: Why are companies willing to pay more for advanced AI coding agents?
A: Companies pay $6 per $1 million tokens for OpenAI's advanced coding agent, 4 times more than basic ChatGPT, because one agent replaces multiple human salaries, potentially saving hundreds of thousands annually.
📈 Q: What is the projected growth for AI agent revenue according to OpenAI?
A: OpenAI forecasts that agent revenue will grow from $3 billion in 2023 to $29 billion by 2029, indicating a rapid adoption and replacement of human workers.
Specialized AI Agents
⚖️ Q: How are domain-specific AI agents being used in regulated industries?
A: Domain-specific agents with expert-level knowledge are operating in regulated industries, such as Harvey for legal work, Hypocratic AI for healthcare, and financial analysis agents.
🖥️ Q: What capabilities do browser-using AI agents possess?
A: Browser-using agents can control websites, fill out forms, and handle repetitive web-based tasks autonomously, with tools like OpenAI Operator and Anthropic's Computer Use able to visually interpret and interact with screens like humans.
