## Summary

Fewer than half of agent-generated insights at surveyed organizations lead to business improvement, with 48% on average, up from 37% a year earlier. At "insight leaders," more than 70% of agent insights lead to improving actions. Respondents cite insufficient business context (55%) and fragmented or inaccessible data (45%) as the main causes of low-quality insights.
