In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, AI agents are reshaping business operations across industries. In a recent episode of “While You Were Working,” Chip Rosales, a Managing Partner at Rogue Marketing, sat down with Gary Haymann, Chief Revenue Officer of SmythOS, to discuss how AI agents are becoming a cornerstone of business efficiency and innovation.

Making AI Accessible

SmythOS is pioneering an AI operating system designed to simplify the adoption of AI technology for businesses. “There’s so much hype and complexity surrounding AI,” said Haymann. “Our goal with SmythOS is to make AI easy, accessible, and actionable for businesses of all sizes.”

SmythOS functions as an all-in-one AI operating system, similar to how Canva revolutionized design. It integrates various AI tools and APIs, allowing businesses to build AI-powered workflows and deploy them effortlessly. According to Haymann, the platform’s latest innovation, Agent Weaver, is a first-of-its-kind chat-to-agent builder. “With Agent Weaver, you can describe what you need, and the system builds a fully functional AI agent in real-time,” he explained. “It removes friction and makes AI truly accessible for non-technical users.”

Bridging the AI Skills Gap

Despite widespread awareness of AI, many businesses struggle to integrate it due to a skills gap. “There’s a disconnect between AI’s potential and businesses’ ability to implement it,” Haymann noted. “SmythOS bridges that gap by providing a no-code environment where businesses can experiment, iterate, and deploy AI agents in minutes.”

He emphasized that AI is not about replacing people but enhancing efficiency. “Every professional spends 80% of their time on repetitive tasks and only 20% on what they love. AI agents help reverse that ratio, allowing professionals to focus on high-value work.”

Enterprise Adoption and Use Cases

Haymann shared insights on AI’s growing adoption among enterprises, revealing that several Fortune 500 companies are rolling out large-scale AI programs using SmythOS. One notable success story involves an online retailer that automated customer service inquiries, reducing call center volume and enhancing customer satisfaction.

“They started with a single AI agent to manage order status inquiries and quickly expanded to customer service and reporting functions,” he said. “This incremental approach allowed them to test, validate, and scale AI solutions effectively.”

The Year of AI Agents

Industry experts, including Haymann, believe that 2025 will be the defining year for AI agents. “Companies are shifting their focus inward, exploring how AI can streamline operations before expanding their workforce,” he said. “We’re also witnessing a surge in AI-driven startups that are leveraging automation to operate with unprecedented efficiency.”

With companies like Google, Meta, and OpenAI investing heavily in AI-powered tools, the business world is at the precipice of an AI revolution. “The adoption of AI is happening now, not in some distant future. Businesses that delay risk being left behind,” Haymann warned.

Final Thoughts

As AI technology continues to evolve, companies must adapt swiftly to stay competitive. SmythOS is positioning itself as the go-to platform for AI transformation, providing businesses with the tools they need to harness AI’s full potential.

“AI is not just a trend; it’s a fundamental shift in how businesses operate,” Haymann concluded. “The companies that embrace AI today will be the industry leaders of tomorrow.”
