In 2025, automation is no longer about simple "if this, then that" triggers. We’ve entered the age of agentic workflows—AI-driven systems that perceive, reason, and act on behalf of users or businesses. These intelligent agents don’t just follow rules; they understand goals, adapt in real time, and collaborate across tools and platforms.

From customer service to compliance, agentic workflows are redefining how work gets done. Whether you're a startup founder, operations lead, or innovation officer, here are the Top 10 Agentic Workflow Automation Use Cases to watch—and implement—this year.
