In this fireside chat with Tom Smith, Derek Neighbors, CTO, Vixxo, shared why AI agents represent a fundamental shift in how organizations operate, enabling every business function to move from manual execution to AI-powered orchestration.

Key Takeaways

AI Agents Will Transform Every Business Function: While engineering has been an early adopter of AI agents, the same model can be applied across finance, operations, and other business functions. Organizations that embrace agentic workflows enterprise-wide will be better positioned to adapt and scale.

Organizations Must Shift from Execution to Orchestration: As AI agents take on more operational work, employees will increasingly focus on directing, validating, and coordinating intelligent systems rather than performing repetitive tasks. This changes how teams are structured and where human expertise delivers the greatest value.

AI Is Becoming Foundational Infrastructure: Rather than treating AI as a standalone technology initiative, organizations should view it as a core capability embedded throughout the business. Like previous transformative technologies, AI’s long-term value comes from integrating it into every process, not limiting it to isolated pilots.
