AI Agents: Real Production Success or Mostly Hype?
Curious to know from people actually deploying AI agents in production.
I’m a big believer in AI. As a copilot it is already amazing — dev, recruiting, sales, research and almost every role.
But when it comes to fully autonomous AI agents, how many are actually successful in production today?
Not demos or POCs. Agents actually running with minimal human intervention, saving meaningful cost or generating good profits.
Once we add guardrails, approvals, monitoring and exception handling, are they really autonomous anymore?
I see dev work as one area where agents are already very strong.
Would love to hear some real production examples and ROI numbers.
