In the age of agentic AI, where systems anticipate, decide, and act, Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) is like the backstage crew ensuring the show runs smoothly. By turning unstructured data into actionable insights, IDP fuels smarter workflows and adapts in real time. It’s not just automation—it’s the foundation that lets AI agents shine on the main stage. As we move into 2025, IDP will be the quiet but powerful force enabling AI systems to integrate seamlessly and make truly impactful decisions.
More than a third of U.S. businesses have ventured into using AI and GenAI not only for internal operations but also within customer systems, yet only 11% have fully implemented responsible AI (RAI). While RAI brings clear benefits, many struggle to prove its ROI and secure funding. Here’s the core issue: trust is everything in customer experience. Reliable, purpose-built AI solutions are essential to avoid costly errors and misinformation. Grounding AI in validated, fact-driven frameworks not only protects trust but also ensures smoother, more seamless interactions—giving businesses the confidence to fully harness AI’s potential while strengthening customer relationships.
Enterprise use of AI agents is on the rise, and most companies expect to implement them in the next 1-2 years. The agents could theoretically automate up to 60% of the work hours in today's global economy. To help command and control this new breed of digital worker, there is a new type of agent on the horizon -- the orchestrator agent.
These agents, sometimes called meta agents, coordinate and manage multiple specialized agents to work together to achieve a common goal. In addition to robust integration and reasoning capabilities, they need knowledge of enterprise processes. “Enterprises that want an effective agentic system provide the workflow for an orchestrator agent to follow, not the other way around.”
Fun AI Fact for the New Year 🎉
Did you know? Nearly 70 years ago, in 1956, researchers Allen Newell and Herbert A. Simon created the Logic Theorist, widely regarded as the first artificial intelligence program. This "thinking machine" could prove mathematical theorems from Whitehead and Russell's Principia Mathematica, simulating aspects of human problem-solving.
Fast forward to 2025: AI has come a long way, from solving theorems to revolutionizing industries. Let's look forward to a new year filled with even more groundbreaking advancements in AI! 🚀
AI by the Numbers
Multimodal for the Win
A recent study by OpenAI and the University of Pennsylvania revealed a fascinating finding that suggests a 3-4x boost in productivity by enhancing LLM capabilities. According to the study, around 15% of all worker tasks in the U.S. could be completed much faster with an LLM while maintaining the same quality. When integrating software and tools built on top of LLMs (such as Vertical SaaS), this percentage rises to between 47% and 56% of all tasks.
