Workflow-specific agent opportunities and constraints across industries.
Legal agents can organize evidence and prepare work, but professional judgement, client authority and verified legal positions cannot be delegated by interface.
Maintenance agents can turn condition signals into coordinated work, but plant safety and control demand bounded action and field verification.
Buy evidence, controllability and lifecycle obligations—not a confident demo or an unrestricted promise of autonomy.
A passing patch is only the start. Repository evaluation should test understanding, change quality, security, reviewability and recovery.
Finance agents can prepare, reconcile and investigate, but posting, paying and attesting require deliberately separated authority.
A support agent should be judged on whether it resolves the right problem safely, not on whether its first answer sounds convincing.
A procurement agent may discover, compare and prepare, but supplier commitments require explicit mandates, separation and evidence.
A logistics agent earns trust when data becomes late, routes close and plans conflict—not when everything follows the timetable.
Administrative agents can reduce coordination work, but clinical meaning and patient access can enter the workflow sooner than the label suggests.
Financial agents combine models, data, tools, people and third parties, so assurance has to follow the complete regulated workflow.
