It's time to move past PoCs and unsatisfactory Pilots It's imperative to build for Production for the right Outcomes
The question now isn't ššµš²ššµš²šæ to build agents, but šµš¼š to build them at scale without breaking your infrastructure, governance, or sanity.
After a year of reality checks in enterprise AI, here's what we've learnt:
š“ ššæš®š“š¶š¹š² šš»šš²š“šæš®šš¶š¼š»š: Agents break on brittle legacy APIs š“ šš®šš® š¦šš®šŗš½š: RAG fails when unstructured data lacks context š“ š„š¶ššø š£š®šæš®š¹ššš¶š: Governance blocks adoption without clear guardrails
But there's a blueprint for getting it right.
š§šµš² š± š„šš¹š²š š¼š³ šš»šš²šæš½šæš¶šš² šš“š²š»šš:
š. šš»š°šµš¼šæ š¼š» šÆššš¶š»š²šš šš®š¹šš², š»š¼š šš²š°šµ šµšš½š²: If you can't measure time saved or revenue generated, kill the project.
š®. š¢šæš°šµš²šššæš®šš² š¼š»š¹š ššµš²š» š»š²š°š²ššš®šæš: Start with a deterministic single loop. Multi-agent systems are exponentially harder to debug.
šÆ. šš»šš²šš š¶š» 'šš“š²š»š-š„š²š®š±š' š±š®šš® š½š¶š½š²š¹š¶š»š²š: The biggest cost isn't the LLM. It's pre-processing, chunking, vectorising, and cleaning unstructured documents so agents don't hallucinate.
š°. š¦š²š°ššæš² ššµš² š¶š±š²š»šš¶šš, š»š¼š š·ššš ššµš² š½šæš¼šŗš½š: Never let agents bypass IAM. Log every tool execution. Mandate human-in-the-loop for high-stakes actions.
š±. ššš¶š¹š± š³š¼šæ š³š®š¶š¹ššæš²/š³š®š¹š¹šÆš®š°šø: Define who takes over when the model fails. Your agent design card should answer this šÆš²š³š¼šæš² you write a single line of code.

The future isn't agents everywhere. It's the right tool, in the right place, working with the right people.
Success isn't about having the most sophisticated AI. It's about understanding your workflows, choosing the right tool for each task, measuring real business outcomes, and building with your people (not despite them).
At Synaptyx AI, we don't start with AI. We start with your business and your people.
Our Lattice accelerators aren't finished products you're meant to squeeze into; they're starting points you can shape to fit your reality.
