This is really interesting but how are you gathering the data? That is also important.
@anitakirkovska Great concept and research!
I am critically evaluating the impact in terms of productivity and competitive advantage, working towards creating something that was previously unattainable before the AI revolution.
Love how this report addresses the knowledge gap in understanding real-world AI implementation patterns - it's exactly what teams need for strategic planning and benchmarking.
What methodology did you use to categorize and define "AI agents" in your survey, given how varied the interpretations of this term are across industries?
I recommend reading the 2025 State of AI report! This is a great study that helps to understand how companies are using artificial intelligence. It collects data from more than 1250 developers and specialists, which gives a clear picture of current trends and plans.
Congrats on the launch! 🎉 Is there a condensed version highlighting key points - like which AI technologies are most recommended for small businesses in 2025? Personally, I think internal ChatGPT based on internal knowledge bases might be one.
Documents parsing is definitely a top choice for many. it's something I've been exploring my self super efficient!
Great way of doing an overhaul on what can ACTUALLY be achieved with AI, naturally this is going to continue to become better & better which is extremely exciting indeed.
Always got to do the analysis, how did you get a pool of 1250+ companies to analayse?
Best of luck Anita, let's gooo!
Great job! And great design!
It would be also very useful to see the stat for industries, espeicially to get which ones are overserved by AI and which ones are underserved.
