The agentic AI industry is facing a significant challenge not in developing intelligent agents, but in establishing robust system architectures that allow these agents to be effectively deployed in production environments. The prevalent issue is that many AI projects focus on creating intelligent agents but neglect the architectural backbone necessary for scalability, maintainability, and reliability, leading to a disconnect between development and production readiness. The solution, termed "Agentic Systems," revolves around a deterministic backbone that handles core logic while deploying intelligence only where necessary, ensuring that agents operate within defined boundaries to maintain control and predictability. Companies like DocuSign have successfully implemented this architecture, increasing efficiency and engagement by separating structural components from intelligent agents and allowing for scalable and reusable workflows. This approach, emphasizing observability, governance, and flexibility, demonstrates that the future of agentic AI lies not in the sophistication of individual agents but in the strength of the architectural framework supporting them, thereby enabling long-term business impact through predictable costs, faster iteration, and reduced risk.
