Autonomous AI agents represent one of the most transformative technologies for enterprise operations, but deploying them without proper orchestration creates substantial risks. In this thought-provoking conversation with Sagi Eliyahu Co-Founder and CEO Tonkean as we unpack the critical relationship between AI agents, orchestration, and governance in modern enterprises.
What makes AI agents fundamentally different from traditional automation is their autonomous nature—their ability to use tools and make decisions in ways that might be unexpected. As Sagi explains, "No one is going to hire someone to an organization and give them access to everything in the company." The same principle applies to AI agents. Proper orchestration provides the technical framework that defines what agents can access, how they interact with other systems and humans, and what guardrails constrain their actions.
The value proposition for enterprise AI extends far beyond efficiency. While completing tasks faster is certainly important, the true transformation comes from elevating human work, enabling people to focus on strategic thinking rather than routine tasks. Perhaps most surprising is how well-orchestrated AI agents can improve quality by combining the consistency of automation with the flexibility to handle exceptions and contextual nuances.
For organizations implementing AI agents, Sagi recommends focusing on use cases where the tasks are "hard to do but easy to review"—like contract analysis, compliance checks, or code refactoring. These applications deliver immediate value while maintaining appropriate human oversight. The most successful implementations start with specific departmental processes rather than attempting organization-wide transformation.
The future of enterprise AI isn't about removing humans from processes but enhancing their capabilities with intelligent, well-governed systems. By applying thoughtful orchestration principles, organizations can safely harness the power of autonomous agents to transform how they operate. How will your organization build its AI workforce? The time to establish your orchestration strategy is now.
