Afterwork: are you ready for agents?

September 14, 2026

In The Pocket HQ, Ghent

Your customers are about to stop clicking.

Soon they won't browse your site, compare your options, or fill in your forms. Their agent will. It will research, negotiate and act on their behalf. Gartner expects agents to autonomously resolve 80% of common service issues by 2029.

That shift raises two questions every organisation needs an answer to.

Is your company ready for a world of agents? When an agent is the one evaluating you, being findable, machine-readable and trustworthy is the new table stakes. Today most companies aren't. Get it right and you're the default choice. Get it wrong and you're invisible.

Can your company act as an agent? The same technology lets you serve customers in radically new ways: proactive, autonomous experiences in your own channels, and even entirely new service-as-software business models that disrupting your own industry.

Come find your place in a world of agents.
