At the same time, 67% are already building or shipping agentic workflows, and 85% believe AI agents will become table stakes within the next three years.<\/p>\n<p>Together, the findings point to a market that is moving quickly from experimentation to operational deployment, reshaping how organizations evaluate the foundations of their software stack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs agentic AI moves into production environments, the competitive dynamic is shifting,\u201d said Jeff Koets, CEO of Nylas. \u201cThis is not about adding AI features. It is an infrastructure race. The vendors that provide clean data layers, reliable APIs, and governance built into their architecture will capture the next phase of market movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While adoption is accelerating, the report shows that teams are deploying agentic systems pragmatically. Most workflows are rolled out gradually, with human oversight and governance controls in place. Builders are prioritizing reliability, observability, and compliance as they scale agentic capabilities across real-world systems.<\/p>\n<p>Industry leaders are already seeing large-scale adoption of AI agents across their organizations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe now have over 3,258 agents working alongside 1,300 humans,\u201d said Zeb Evans, Founder and CEO of ClickUp, a longtime Nylas customer. \u201cManagers\u2019 agents will manage their ICs\u2019 agents \u2014 overseeing them for human-in-the-loop interactions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The findings underscore that as agentic AI becomes embedded into day-to-day workflows, infrastructure decisions are becoming strategic. Platforms that can support scalable, compliant, and production-ready agentic systems are positioned to define the next phase of the market.<\/p>\n<p>The full 2026 State of Agentic AI report is available at:\u00a0https:\/\/www.nylas.com\/agentic-ai-report-2026\/The post 94% of Developers Eye Vendor Switch Amid AI Race first appeared on AI-Tech Park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div>\n<p>New research shows 67% already building agentic workflows and 85% expect AI agents to become table stakes within three years.
