"Agentic artificial intelligence tools are slated to dominate federal and consumer markets in the coming year, major tech players predict, underscoring the role data organization and cloud computing will play in delivering tailored agentic solutions. Agentic AI, which describes autonomous AI systems that are capable of executing specific tasks with little to no human interaction required, was a hot topic in federal and private sector procurement. Major vendors are responding to the ongoing demand for agentic technology with a holistic infrastructure approach for the coming year."
""Agentic AI is where the industry is headed, is where our customers are headed. It's where they're demanding outcomes," Rishi Bhaskar, director of public sector partner sales at Amazon Web Services, told Nextgov/FCW. "But that starts in the data journey." Bhaskar described the AWS approach to delivering agentic AI solutions as a broader journey that must both modernize legacy infrastructure and code, as well as refine and organize data to make it easy to turn into actionable information. He further anticipates the customer base will be looking for outcome-driven AI tools to augment current workflows in lieu of proof-of-concept ideas."
""As the year 2025 closes and 2026 begins, the sentiment among government technology leaders has shifted from 'what is possible' to 'what can we operationalize,'" Kapil Bakshi, a distinguished engineer within the Office of the Chief Technology Officer at Cisco's U.S. Public Sector branch, told Nextgov/FCW. Both Bakshi and Bhaskar observed a pivot away from chatbot capabilities and a drive towards more actionable investments in AI systems."
Agentic AI adoption is accelerating across federal and consumer markets with vendors emphasizing data organization, cloud infrastructure, and operationalization. Major providers plan holistic infrastructure strategies that modernize legacy systems, refine and organize data, and enable outcome-driven agentic solutions. Customers are shifting focus from proof-of-concept chatbots toward tools that augment workflows and deliver measurable outcomes. AWS highlights that data modernization and organization are prerequisites for agentic deployments. Cisco reports similar demand for operationalizable systems. The priority is actionable investments that move from exploring possibilities to deploying agentic AI at scale to solve complex business problems.
