IDC analyst and Associate Vice President Sharath Srinivasamurthy said event-driven automation and analysis of movement data is a key enabler for businesses looking to expand their agent systems. “When contextual event-driven customer data and external signals are captured and analyzed in real time, it greatly improves the effectiveness and responsiveness of AI agents,” Srinivasamurthy said. Event-driven agent automation enables instant, up-to-date decisions, not only improves the responsiveness of time-sensitive workloads, but also reduces waste calculations and costs.
“Agents respond proactively to events such as errors, updates, and user requests, and promote real-time problem-solving and adaptive behavior. If this is gaining traction, it includes fraud detection, risk management, emergency response, predictive maintenance, dynamic pricing, traffic management, IT operations, and customer experience.”
