At the CEO Summit, a dedicated session on Agentic AI showcased how this emerging wave of technology is moving far beyond copilots and chatbots into systems that plan, reason, and act on our behalf. With perspectives from Lovable, Bonterra, Strawberry, and Alexander Fred Ojala (Head of AI, EQT Ventures), the discussion highlighted how agentic AI is beginning to transform software development, business operations, and everyday workflows.
From Code to Apps in Hours – Lovable
Lovable demonstrated the rise of AI agents that build entire applications end-to-end. With tools like Lovable, a product manager can prototype applications in a matter of minutes. This change challenges the traditional development cycle and signals a future where software functionality is limited more by imagination than by engineering bandwidth.
AI as a Force Multiplier – Bonterra
Bonterra’s story underscored how internal adoption depends on reframing agents not as job replacements, but as “force multipliers.” By positioning agentic systems as amplifiers of human productivity, Bonterra achieved step-change improvements in efficiency across teams without reducing headcount. This approach highlighted a model for cultural adoption: people empowered by AI rather than displaced by it.
The Browser Becomes the Robot Suit – Strawberry
Strawberry took the conversation out of back-end systems and into the everyday interface we all use: the browser. Their vision positions the browser as a “robot suit” for knowledge workers, where agentic AI automates knowledge work tasks. Already today it works end-to-end across use cases in sales, recruiting, and operational workflows with the user only operating within Strawberry’s agentic browser. By embedding AI companions that can extract, organize, and act across websites, Strawberry is reframing the web as a workspace powered by autonomous digital colleagues.
A Paradigm Shift in Workflows
Moderator and opening speaker Alexander Fred-Ojala noted that 2025 is shaping up as the year of agents. These nascent systems are becoming reliable enough to run coding tasks autonomously for hours, integrate across workflows, and collaborate with professionals in basically every function and department across organizations. The implications are profound: entire organizational functions, from development and marketing to customer support and finance can be reimagined around outcomes delivered by a swarm of AI agents.
🔑 Key Takeaways
Agentic AI is transitioning from copilots to autonomous systems capable of planning, reasoning, and execution.
Adoption depends on framing: agents as productivity multipliers, not replacements.
The shift opens new markets, from enterprise-grade development tools to AI-native browsers.
Companies must prepare to become agentic organizations, where human teams manage and orchestrate networks of AI co-workers.
This session made one thing clear: the agentic era is no longer theoretical. It’s arriving now and it will fundamentally reshape how companies build, operate, and scale.
