Data-driven Decision Making - with Agentic AI
How to enable business users for fast and high-quality decisions
Agentic AI1 is a hot topic in the current AI discussion but I havn’t seen much in practice until now.
How it started…
I’ve been at a tech conference in October, where a small vendor workshop happend about “data-driven decision making for everyone” based on Agentic AI.
The facilitator asked us about
Which decisions we make on a regular basis?
What data do we use? Which data would we like to use?
Which tools and systems are relevant today?
Than they reflect on that and went into a explanation and discussion how different current LLM-based (Large Language Model) approaches could help and how Agentic AI can help here.
How it is going…
Some insights from the discussion are, that using multiple information systems need a clear idea about what high-quality sources are. A kind of certification or data contract could be helpful to support AI Agents to deliver the best information. Furthermore multiple sources of information could create contradictions. You need a good orchestration and decision engine to get good and clear results. In the discussion we also saw that it is important not just to confirm ones opinion using AI, LLM or Agentic AI, but rather get good recommendations to decide based on that.
Outlook
We never had the opportunity to work with data the way we do it with the support of LLM. This idea will rapidly grow if systems are mature and vendors integrate that in our daily business. The right technical approach is important, but without considering the human side and without the right AI literacy it just reinforces poor decision making. This also shows the path forward for Artificial General Intelligence.
What do you think abour Agentic AI, it’s potentials and current usage?
