In the future, AI agents will be widely embedded within enterprises to execute complex, multi-step tasks. According to research by Capgemini, currently only 10% of large enterprises are using AI agents, but it is expected that 82% of businesses plan to integrate this technology within the next three years. Google has identified six types of AI agents, including customer agents, employee agents, creative agents, data agents, code agents, and security agents. As the number of agents increases, the complexity of managing these agents will also rise, necessitating a unified platform to coordinate and manage them.

Additionally, multimodal AI will enhance AI's understanding capabilities, allowing it to process various data forms such as text, images, videos, and audio. Google predicts that the multimodal AI market will reach $2.4 billion by 2025 and grow to $98.9 billion by 2037. As businesses gradually shift from using a single model to employing multiple models in parallel, the application scenarios for AI will become increasingly diverse.

Enterprise search will also become smarter due to advancements in AI technology. Future searches will no longer rely solely on keywords; employees will be able to query using images, audio, video, and natural language. This change will allow for the rapid integration of isolated information across different application systems, helping employees more efficiently obtain the information they need. AI agents will also play a significant role in this process.
