\n The Agentic Economy is the emerging economic paradigm in which autonomous AI agents – capable of perceiving, reasoning, and acting – participate directly in markets as independent economic
\n actors. Unlike traditional automation that merely executes pre-programmed tasks, these agents make decisions based on goals, real-time data, and learned behaviors. They can engage in activities
\n such as price negotiation, supply chain coordination, and creative production. They can represent individual consumers, businesses, or themselves, interacting with other agents or humans to buy,
\n sell, collaborate, and innovate. The Agentic Economy is being powered by advances in large language models, reinforcement learning, and decentralized infrastructure, and it blurs the lines
\n between human and machine agency.\n <\/p>\n

\n In a practical sense, agents will be capable of doing \u2018things\u2019 on behalf of consumers \u2013 without direct engagement by the user. For example, an agent may be given the task of finding the best
\n travel deal or the best health insurance contract for its customer, and it will employ all the power of GenAI to do this, monitoring what is available in the market. But unlike the search engines
\n of the past two decades, these agents will be empowered to go further on behalf of the customer. They will be able to make decisions, negotiate with other systems, get the customer the best
\n possible deal, and then close that deal. These agents will be empowered by the customer to sign contracts on their behalf, make payments, and essentially act as if they are the customer. Give
\n them a task, and they\u2019ll figure out how to get it done. Not only that, but they will be working actively on that task 24\/7, limiting the lock-in duration of a signed contract to an absolute
\n minimum so that they can keep looking for better and better deals.\u00a0 In the Agentic economy, instead of having a health insurance contract for a year, it might be renegotiated by your agent
\n on a weekly or daily basis.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

To some, this is the exciting vista of the real potential of AI to change lives, while to others it\u2019s the scary prospect of a dystopian world. But like them or not, the very first implementations
\n of Agents are already here, and they\u2019re not going away. Agents are already being built using the latest large language models from OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and others, using technologies such
\n as MCP & A2A, and powered by orchestration frameworks such as LangChain and CrewAI. The hyperscalers in all parts of the world, from Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Alibaba, are already
\n investing heavily here as they see this as fundamentally disruptive, changing how we use the internet and who reaps the profits from it.<\/p>\n

The shift to the Agentic Economy promises greater efficiency, personalization, and scalability, and will be hugely disruptive to existing digital economy business models.\u00a0 It seems clear,
\n from even a cursory glance at the dynamics of the Agentic economy, that the disruption to innovation in all parts of the value chain will be substantial.\u00a0 Of course, technology innovation is
\n driving the emergence of Agentics, but business model innovation & adaptation will need to be just as fundamental as the models that have driven the current digital economy (digital
\n advertising, platforms, etc) are likely to be utterly disrupted.\u00a0\u00a0\n <\/p>\n

\n Some of the business models that have defined the digital economy over the past fifteen years are platform business models, search-based advertising, and the wider app economy. As I mentioned
\n earlier, in the Agentics economy, the consumer (or enterprise) simply instructs their agent to \u201cbook me a trip to Kyoto next month.\u201d It knows your schedule, it knows what you are interested in,
\n and it understands your budget. It asks you a quick series of questions for clarification and then starts looking at options. It looks up flights, picks hotels, car hire, experiences, etc, that
\n it knows you\u2019d like. And then books the lot. No requirement for app download, no opportunity for attractive digital adverts to be presented to you! And no engagement with travel platforms, hotel
\n booking platforms, or car hire platforms. Just done! And possibly at a lower price, as by avoiding booking aggregation platforms and going straight to the airline, car hire, or hotel website,
\n your agent also avoids the additional \u2018transactional taxes\u2019 charged by those platforms.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By: Martin Creaner The Agentic Economy is the emerging economic paradigm in which autonomous AI agents – capable…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":80489,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[23682,43772,179,43767,43768,7493,22199,27122,43769,24480,43774,11432,1642,8808,43776,3461,3463,3462,43770,43773,7741,43771,43765,43766,43775],"class_list":["post-80488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-agentic-ai","tag-a2a","tag-agent-marketplaces","tag-agentic-ai","tag-agentic-ai-business-models","tag-agentic-ai-economy","tag-agentic-artificial-intelligence","tag-agentic-economy","tag-app-economy","tag-crewai","tag-digital-advertising","tag-disintermediation","tag-langchain","tag-large-language-models","tag-mcp","tag-open-apis","tag-pipeline","tag-pipeline-article","tag-pipeline-magazine","tag-platform-business-models","tag-platform-revolution","tag-reinforcement-learning","tag-search-based-advertising","tag-wba","tag-world-broadband-association","tag-zero-loyalty"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80488"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80488\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
