Section I — Foundations

Chapters 14, 15, 16: How to Think About Enterprise AI Agents Before Building Them

Section I establishes the conceptual and technical foundations that every subsequent chapter depends on. It answers three questions practitioners consistently struggle with: What does the enterprise AI landscape actually look like in 2026, and how do I navigate it strategically? How do I architect an agent that can reliably handle the complexity of a real business function? How do I transfer the knowledge locked in expert practitioners' heads into a format that AI agents can execute consistently?
