I think a lot of companies are struggling to move beyond this being a thing developers use to something everyone can use. Developers have to go really far out of their way to build agents and tools that apply the capabilities to their specific business. Someone in accounting cannot simply fire up chatgpt.com or copilot and use it in the same way a developer can. There is no instruction manual or historical precedent for how to do this. Very few people are currently in the right situation to make this work.
My observation is that most development teams are still in panic / survival mode, spending all day stacking sandbags instead of bringing these capabilities to the broader team. The fear of job loss in this particular market is crippling. No one will admit it publicly but you can feel the adversity on every AI status call. I've managed to convince a few that AI won't take their jobs, and these people have become indispensable at enabling deployment of AI beyond the weird nerd part of the org chart.
