The Agentic Approach to Product Building: Do More with Less

Users no longer have the patience to hunt for information, fill out forms, or learn a product step by step. Today, the expectation is simple: do more, faster, easier. Anything that feels like a repetitive, boilerplate task – whether filling forms, gathering the same data, or sending routine messages – is now a barrier. Products that can eliminate this friction, anticipate needs, and act autonomously are the ones users will demand.

The solution? Agentic products.

Not Just Interactive – Autonomous

Agentic products don’t wait – they remove friction at every step. They understand, gather, and act on behalf of the user, transforming workflows and complex systems into intelligence-driven action.

• Need insights across multiple systems? The product summarizes them instantly.
• Want to initiate communications or transactions? It does it automatically.
• Unsure how to filter or analyze complex data? Just ask, and the product surfaces the answer or creates the query for you.
• Working with sprawling options, like cloud architectures or CRMs? Give a prompt, and the product proposes a complete solution and guides you to execution.
• Curious about trends or data relationships? Simply ask, and the product visualizes the insights for you.

In short, agentic products are less “clicky clicky,” more “asky asky”- tools that don’t just respond but anticipate, simplify, and act, removing friction so users can focus on what matters.

Why Businesses Can’t Wait

Speed and intelligence are no longer nice to have – they define competitiveness. In the past, launching a new feature could take months. Today, it takes days or even hours. Claude launched Cowork in 7 days. If you wait six months, you’re ten features behind.

The next generation won’t tolerate friction. Anything from 2026 that feels slow, clunky, or “old-school” will be ignored. Users won’t bother learning your product – they’ll expect it to learn them.

And here’s the kicker: somewhere, there’s a small team in a basement copying your product, AI-first, at a fraction of the cost, ten times the speed, ready to compete the moment it launches.

If your product is slow, reactive, or cumbersome, you’re not just losing users – you’re losing relevance. Those who act proactively, intelligently, and without friction will lead the next wave.

Agentic Products in Action

Gaming and Digital Platforms: AI agents can monitor player behavior, anticipate support issues, trigger personalized in-game content, or even adjust difficulty on the fly. Need a new level layout or enemy behavior? The AI can generate it automatically based on player trends. Users don’t have to ask – the platform acts first, keeping engagement high and friction low.

Enterprise SaaS: Products can scan multiple internal and external data sources, summarize key insights, generate reports automatically, and initiate workflow actions across teams. Complex tasks like filtering CRM data, proposing cloud architectures, or drafting boilerplate code are handled through simple prompts instead of tedious menus, cutting weeks of repetitive work down to minutes.

Data & Analytics: Instead of clicking through dashboards, users can ask for trends, relationships, or anomalies in seconds. The agentic product interprets the query, visualizes the results, and even suggests next steps – removing friction and turning complex data into instant insights.

Consumer Services: From automating order updates to proactively notifying users about opportunities or potential issues, agentic products act in the user’s interest – building trust, loyalty, and reducing repetitive tasks.

Developer & DevOps Tools: Imagine an AI that reviews your CI/CD pipelines, flags potential bottlenecks, auto-generates unit tests, or even proposes architecture tweaks for scaling – all before you’ve typed a single command. Like we said earlier, Less “clicky clicky,” more “asky asky.”

The Common Thread: Agentic products remove friction, anticipate needs, and act autonomously, turning complexity into simplicity across industries. Whether it’s gaming, SaaS, analytics, or developer workflows, the next generation expects action first, answers instantly, and manual work gone.

Building Products That Act

1. Layer Intelligence on Automation: Automate tasks, yes. But let your product make smart decisions autonomously.
2. Embed AI Across the Journey: Every touchpoint should anticipate needs, not just respond to clicks.
3. Measure Proactivity: Track actions taken on behalf of users, not just raw engagement.
4. Prioritize Speed: Instant results aren’t optional, they’re expected.
