AI agents face the ROI test

About this episode

AI agents are designed to do more than answer questions. They are meant to complete tasks. Sierra co-founder Clay Bavor joins CNBC’s Arjun Kharpal to discuss how AI agents are moving from demos into real business workflows, especially in customer service, sales and support. Bavor explains how Sierra builds and tests customer-facing AI agents before they go live, why companies want clearer ways to measure AI’s return on investment and how outcome-based pricing could challenge the way software companies get paid. The conversation also covers coding agents, rising AI token costs and why the hardest part of enterprise AI may be the “last mile” of deployment.
