Part 1: Beyond RAG: Unleashing the power of Agentic AI for enterprises
Many enterprise AI assistant initiatives begin with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). RAG allows assistants to access and synthesize information from a company’s knowledge base, providing employees with quick answers to their questions. This is a valuable starting point, providing some benefits in terms of information access and time saved.
However, RAG alone offers limited, and often difficult to measure, Return on Investment (RoI). The real transformative power of AI lies in its ability to act, not just inform. This is where Agentic AI comes into play.
Agentic AI goes beyond simple question-answering. It empowers AI assistants to:
- Execute Tasks: Instead of just telling employees how to perform a task, an agentic AI can do it for them. This might involve updating a CRM record, submitting a leave request, generating a report, or provisioning access to a system.
- Integrate with Your Tech Stack: To perform these actions, deep integration with your existing enterprise systems is crucial. This requires secure and reliable connections via APIs, webhooks, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and even direct browser interaction.
- Automate Complex Workflows: Agentic AI can orchestrate multi-step processes, automating entire workflows that previously required human intervention.
- The challenge in doing this is twofold:
- The first challenge is the complexity of creating such an architecture. Most AI assistants are built as wrappers on top of foundational LLMs and lack the architectural elements to actually build this. For an agentic system, the AI needs to be a first-class citizen in your enterprise
- The second challenge is to be able to define and execute these in a deterministic manner. Reliability is key in enterprise adoption, and without this, the scope of an AI assistant initiative is severely limited

Many companies have attempted to build or buy solutions that address these needs, but have encountered significant roadblocks:
- Scalability Issues: Building integrations for a complex enterprise tech stack is a massive undertaking. Maintaining and updating these integrations as systems evolve is even more challenging.
- Lack of Determinism: Achieving high accuracy and reliability in complex workflows is difficult. Many solutions struggle to consistently execute tasks without errors.
- Limited Scope: Due to these challenges, many AI assistant projects are limited in scope, failing to deliver the transformative impact that was initially envisioned.
If you recognize these challenges, it’s time to consider a more robust and future-proof approach.

Part 3: De-Risking Your AI Investment: The acquisition factor and contract buyout
The technology landscape is constantly evolving, and the AI sector is particularly dynamic. Mergers and acquisitions are common, and this can have significant implications for companies relying on AI solutions.
The Acquisition Risk:
If the company providing your current AI assistant is acquired by a larger player, several potential risks arise:
- Product Roadmap Uncertainty: The acquiring company’s priorities may not align with your needs. The product roadmap could be shifted, delayed, or even discontinued.
- Support and Service Changes: The level of support and service you receive could change, potentially impacting your operations.
- Pricing Increases: This is a crucial point since it is common practice for acquiring companies to increase prices for existing customers upon contract renewal. This is often justified by:
- “Increased Value”: The acquirer may claim that the acquired technology is now part of a larger, more valuable platform.
- “Consolidation of Offerings”: Pricing may be adjusted to align with the acquirer’s existing pricing structure.
- “Investment in R&D”: Increased prices may be attributed to ongoing investment in research and development.
Leena AI’s Solution: Agility and Contract Buyout
To mitigate these risks, Leena AI offers two key advantages:
- Transition Plan: We encourage a proactive approach to vendor risk management. Having a transition plan in place ensures business continuity, regardless of external factors. Leena AI can be your strategic partner in this, offering a smooth and efficient migration path.
- Contract Buyout: To further ease the transition, Leena AI offers a unique contract buyout option. We will buy out the remainder of your existing contract with another AI assistant provider, subject to terms and conditions. This demonstrates our commitment to your success and removes a significant financial barrier to switching.
