The report delves into the evolution of synchronous AI, adoption timelines, and industry priorities while uncovering key challenges, opportunities, and strategic considerations, including workforce strategies and outsourcing impacts. It examines industry-specific use cases and the role of ecosystems in advancing adoption. It also provides recommendations for service providers to deliver these solutions and for enterprises to effectively evaluate and integrate this transformative technology.

The report provides a number of findings and recommendations, including the following:

    • Ninety percent of synchronous AI agent use cases focus on backend processes and diagnostics.
    • Efficiency gains from synchronous AI agents will gradually reduce hiring needs over the next 18–24 months, primarily in media, sales, customer support, and IT.
    • By the end of 2025, approximately 30% of enterprise AI budgets will be dedicated to synchronous AI, reflecting a strategic shift from traditional AI point solutions to comprehensive end-to-end process transformation.
