Basis, Clay, and Exa Labs are leveraging AI agents to enhance workflows in areas like onboarding, account management, and developer integrations. These companies aim to demonstrate how AI-native operations can be applied within enterprises.

MyDataWork POV — The appeal of AI-native workflows is clear, yet there's a significant risk in depending too heavily on AI agents for essential tasks like onboarding and account management. These tasks demand a nuanced understanding of human interaction and context, which AI often struggles to replicate. The risk is that organizations might sacrifice depth and personalization for efficiency, leading to a hollowing out of essential human elements in customer relationships.
