Welcome to the agentic enterprise

What does the agentic enterprise of tomorrow look like? What happens when AI can build software in hours and agents can run entire business processes?

In this episode of TechFirst, John Koetsier sits down with UiPath CEO Daniel Dines and CMO Michael Atalla to unpack one of the biggest shifts in enterprise technology: the rise of the agentic enterprise.

We explore whether software is becoming disposable, why AI agents are fundamentally different from traditional automation, and what really happens to jobs as companies adopt these systems. Along the way, we dig into process orchestration, trust, judgment, and why human “taste” may become more valuable—not less—in an AI-driven world.

This is a deep, practical look at how AI is reshaping work inside real companies as they become agentic enterprises. This isn't just hype, but what’s actually changing right now and what’s coming next.
