AI agents: a new growth driver for SMEs and VSEs in 2025

Artificial intelligence is no longer just for big business. AI agents, true intelligent digital assistants, are revolutionizing the daily lives of French SMEs and VSEs.

When we talk about AI, we're mainly talking about Generative AI, which is essentially used to create new digital content (text, images, music, etc.).

What does an AI agent offer compared to generative AI?

In fact, an AI agent is like an intelligent virtual assistant that can act autonomously to accomplish specific tasks and solve problems.

Here are a few key words to explain the main features of an AI agent

  • Specific. Each AI agent is designed with a specific purpose in mind, such as answering questions, managing an agenda, or controlling a system.
  • Autonomous. The AI agent can operate without constant human intervention. It makes its own decisions based on its environment and objectives.
  • Perception. It is able to "perceive" and understand its environment thanks to sensors or interfaces, like a robot that uses cameras to see, or a program that analyzes data.
  • Decision-making. The AI agent can analyze the information it receives and make decisions accordingly.
  • Action. It can act on its environment to achieve its goals, whether by giving responses, moving objects (for a robot), or performing numerical tasks.
  • Learning. Advanced AI agents can learn from experience and improve over time. 

An AI agent can transform your business in many ways.

Here are a few concrete examples of how to take the first steps towards adopting an AI agent.
  • Competitive intelligence. Stay one step ahead of the competition. The AI agent can monitor the market, analyze trends and provide you with synthetic reports on your competitors and your industry.
  • Predictive analysis and decision support. Thanks to its ability to process huge volumes of data, the AI agent provides you with valuable insights to anticipate market trends, optimize your inventory management and fine-tune your marketing strategies.
  • Optimization of internal processes. The AI agent continuously analyzes your processes to identify bottlenecks and suggest improvements. It can also automate complex workflows, boosting your company's overall efficiency.
  • Automation of administrative tasks. The end of essential but unrewarding repetitive tasks. The AI agent can handle data entry, e-mail sorting, stock management and much more. So your employees can concentrate on higher value-added activities. And more motivating!
  • Personalized, responsive customer service. An AI agent can provide 24/7 customer support, answer frequently asked questions instantly, and even personalize interactions based on the customer's history. The result? Increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.
  • Personalized marketing. The end of inefficient mass marketing. The AI agent analyzes your customers' behavior to create ultra-targeted, personalized campaigns, significantly increasing your conversion rates.

Adopting an AI agent represents a real competitive turning point for SMEs and VSEs. It's a powerful lever for standing out in an increasingly competitive market.

How can you integrate an AI agent into your company?

Here are the main steps we recommend to our customers. 

  • Identify your specific needs and the areas where AI can bring the most value.
  • Opt for existing, customizable AI solutions tailored to SMEs/SMBs, rather than developing complex systems in-house.
  • Train your teams in the use of these new tools to ensure smooth adoption.
  • Start with pilot projects to measure benefits before rolling out on a larger scale.
  • Ensure the security and confidentiality of the data processed by the AI agent, in particular by working with AIs whose servers are based in France or Europe.

Integrating an AI agent isn't just a technological investment, it's a real gas pedal of growth and creativity for your company.

By automating time-consuming tasks, optimizing your processes and providing valuable insights to differentiate you from the competition, the AI agent lets you focus on what really matters: strategy, innovation and business development.
