Alexander Kopylkov, venture investor, finds that AI agents are already running core business functions at scale. Klarna automated 67% of its customer service with a single AI agent, saving $40 million. The remaining 33% of complex cases still required human judgment. Only 17% of companies have deployed agents so far, with 60% planning to within the next 12 months.Kopylkov sees the real investment opportunity in the governance layer that makes agents safe to operate on real business accounts, not in the agents themselves.
