How AI Workers Will Change Your Job

Your next coworker might not need tea breaks or festival holidays. Agentic AI, think of it as AI that actually works instead of just answering questions, is already being tested in offices around the world.

What's Actually Happening Current AI is like asking your junior for help. You give instructions, they deliver results, you check and use them. Agentic AI is different; it's like having a colleague who can plan, decide, and complete entire projects without you watching over their shoulder.

Instead of just writing emails when you ask, it notices you're busy, reschedules meetings, replies to routine messages, and follows up on pending work. Without being told. Where It's Being Used Right Now The customer service uses AI to handle complaints, processes returns, and escalates complex issues, 24/7 without supervision. There are workers who use this for project management purposes, where AI tracks deadlines, spots problems early, and reassigns work when team members get overloaded.
