Agentic AI: Inconvenient Truths About Cost and Skills

• Why agentic AI often becomes far more expensive in production than expected

• The true components of agentic AI total cost of ownership (TCO) beyond initial deployment

• Which skills are required to operate, govern and sustain agentic AI — and why most enterprises lack them

• How to anticipate and manage the “agentic AI hangover” after pilots move into production

Agentic AI promises autonomy, speed, and scale — but for many organizations, production reality brings a sobering hangover. Once agents are deployed, costs can escalate rapidly and skill gaps quickly surface, exposing risks that were easy to overlook during experimentation. 

In this webinar, we will explore the inconvenient truths of agentic AI in production, including the often‑underestimated total cost of ownership and the specialized skills required to manage and govern agentic systems effectively. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of what it truly takes to run agentic AI at scale — and how to prepare your organization before costs and complexity spiral.
