Agentic AI fatigue: vendors sell the future while enterprises fix the present
DavidLinthicum · x · 2026-10-12
- David Linthicum describes rising "agentic AI fatigue": hyperscalers, AI labs, and tooling vendors keep shipping agents, frameworks, and orchestration platforms, yet enterprise buyers increasingly roll their eyes at demos as the promise-vs-deployability gap widens.
- He draws a parallel to early cloud days, when providers oversold transformation while customers struggled with integration, security, and governance — and the vendors that won were the ones that pivoted to practical deployment talk.
- Takeaway: agent providers should stop hyping transformation and start solving enterprises' real integration, security, and governance problems.
