How to grow with Agentic AI and GenAI

Your customers no longer expect you to “make it easy for me”, but rather to “take care of it for me”. GenAI and Agentic AI are the key drivers behind this – according to Gartner, Agentic AI will autonomously resolve the majority of common service requests by 2029.

One in three German companies is already using AI agents – but where is the business impact? Impressive pilot projects are nice to have, but they do not generate measurable growth.

In short: innovation is happening, but it isn’t scaling. The challenge: to structure the operating model, technology architecture and organisation in such a way that innovative ideas generate AI-driven growth: through new offerings, faster time-to-market and compelling service.

While you hesitate, the competition is pulling ahead. Transform rigid processes into a network of skills and AI agents. Secure your lead as an Agentic Company.

What exactly is Agentic AI?

Agentic AI is a form of artificial intelligence that goes beyond the mere content generation of generative AI by acting in a goal-oriented and autonomous manner. Whilst classic LLMs (Large Language Models) in conventional AI react to prompts, AI agents act as reasoning engines: They independently break down complex tasks into logical sub-steps, utilise external tools (APIs, databases) and autonomously correct their workflows in the event of errors (looping/reflection).


Harness the potential of Agentic AI

Four levers on your path to becoming an Agentic Company


Lever 1: AI & GenAI as Growth Drivers

AI determines who grows faster

Companies are investing heavily in AI systems to optimise processes and alleviate the skills shortage. At the same time, pressure is mounting to create new data-driven products, services and innovations to stand out from the competition. Latest-generation AI models enhance your customer service, can perform tasks autonomously and solve problems independently.

This is precisely where we come in: AI & GenAI as Growth Drivers means that AI is directly aligned with your revenue and growth targets. With bespoke AI agents from adesso, we support you in achieving your goals – the transformation of your company into an Agentic Company.


Our focus:

  • Identification and prioritisation of Agentic AI and GenAI use cases with clear ROI hypotheses
  • Multi-agent prototypes that not only impress but demonstrably contribute to revenue, cross-selling or margins
  • Design and implementation of multi-agent systems that manage complete process chains – from lead generation to after-sales support
  • Scaling successful use cases into your live operations – including monitoring, KPIs and continuous optimisation

Your added value:

AI transforms from a cost centre into a growth driver: new products and services, faster time-to-market, better margins.

Lever 2: Customer Centricity

AI agents for forward-looking customer experiences, 24/7

It is not just customers’ expectations that are changing due to AI, but also their information-seeking and purchasing behaviour. In customer service, the chatbot is increasingly becoming a central digital touchpoint.

We are redesigning customer experiences to be data-driven, transparent and AI-powered: consistently putting the customer at the centre and across applications and channels – for greater value creation and efficient service at any time.


Our focus:

  • Visibility on AI platforms – via Generative Engine Optimisation and Model Context Protocol integration
  • AI branding for a specific, personalised brand experience in real time
  • Intelligent omnichannel dialogue systems that autonomously answer service enquiries – based on GenAI and Conversational AI
  • Automatic handover to staff, including conversation summaries and next-best-action recommendations

Your added value:

Greater enthusiasm, faster sales conversions – and less queuing & administration.

Lever 3: AI-focused software

Technology that thinks ahead

At adesso, we build software differently: faster, smarter, AI-native. With AI-focused software, we turn IT and software development into a growth engine. We prepare your (legacy) systems to be controlled, monitored and improved by AI agents. Our framework is future-proof and ready for the challenges ahead.


Our focus:

  • Introduction of secure AI co-pilots for development, testing, documentation and operations
  • Modernisation of your core systems with AI support – without compromising operations
  • Programming and implementation of an AI Hub as standardised access to AI models, best practices and communities
  • Use of agentic developer platforms and test suites (e.g. for automated code analysis, bug detection, test generation)

Your added value:

More releases, less technical debt, faster response to market changes – and systems ready for agentic orchestration.
