What is an AI agent builder? And why should businesses consider using it?

AI agent builders are platforms that let businesses design and deploy AI agents — tools that can complete multi-step tasks across different systems from a single instruction, unlike basic chatbots or rigid automation. Gartner expects 40% of enterprise apps to include AI agents by end of 2026, but warns that 40% of projects may fail due to poor planning. Starting small, with one clear workflow and human oversight, is the recommended approach.
