Question 1

What is agentic AI, and why are companies adopting it in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Agentic AI is an AI-based system that, due to its deep reasoning and learning capabilities, can autonomously perform tasks. It requires minimal human interaction, and, unlike reactive generative AI and simple workflow automation, acts proactively. The rise of agentic AI in 2026 is driven by the need of big companies to automate more complex tasks, which wouldn’t be possible with other types of artificial intelligence systems.

Question 2

How much do enterprise AI tools actually cost beyond the $30/month price tag?

Accepted Answer

Enterprise AI tools cost varies depending on the nature of the tool, the scale of its implementation, and the tasks expected to be handled. The initially named price of the subscription is rarely the overall expense companies end up with. To correctly calculate costs, you would need to consider the number of employees or customers that will be using the tool, whether there are usage limits and how they match your needs, if you require extra tools for a seamless integration with your internal systems, and whether your team needs additional training or talents.

Question 3

What are the top 5 enterprise AI trends that will impact my business in 2026?

Accepted Answer

The top five generative AI trends for enterprises in 2026 are the rise of agentic AI, a switch from a one-model to a multi-model approach, passing pilot and experimenting stages and entering production, more advanced multimodal systems, and investing in physical AI.

Question 4

Should I choose a single AI platform or use multiple models from different vendors?

Accepted Answer

Whether using a single AI platform or multiple models depends on your specific needs. If you seek to automate two or three simple workflows, you won’t necessarily need to use a few different models. However, if your automation requires handling tasks that are more complex, with workflows that require different approaches and capabilities, you might benefit from a more sophisticated orchestration with multiple models.

Question 5

What's the difference between ChatGPT Enterprise, Microsoft 365 Copilot Business, and Claude Enterprise?

Accepted Answer

All three are enterprise-level AI solutions that can help companies with knowledge management and simple automations. ChatGPT Enterprise and Claude Enterprise offer integrations with different knowledge bases and data sources, while Microsoft Copilot operates within its own ecosystem. ChatGPT Enterprise is SOC-2 compliant, Claude has a HIPAA-ready offering available, and Microsoft follows GDPR and ISO. The cost for Microsoft Copilot for new customers is $33.50 per user/month; ChatGPT Enterprise and Claude Enterprise do not disclose their pricing.

Question 6

How long does it take to implement enterprise AI tools and see ROI?

Accepted Answer

The short answer: from as little as 12 months to 5 years. The time it takes to get from AI implementation to significant, measurable ROI depends on the industry and the type of AI system in use. Generative AI initiatives can start returning before the first year from the initial investment, while companies adopting agentic AI systems, due to their complexity and higher costs, will typically see ROI in one to five years.
