The 2025 AI Agent Index

# The AI Agent Index. The 2025 AI Agent Index documents the origins, design, capabilities, ecosystem, and safety features of **30 prominent AI agents** based on publicly available information and correspondence with developers. Chat agents maintain lower autonomy (Level 1-3), browser agents operate at Level 4-5 with limited intervention, and enterprise agents move from Level 1-2 in design to Level 3-5 when deployed. ### Transparency Gap. Of the 13 agents exhibiting frontier levels of autonomy, only 4 disclose any agentic safety evaluations. Agent development concentrates in the US (21/30) and China (5/30), with markedly different approaches to safety frameworks and compliance documentation. Autonomy levels differ systematically by agent category. ### Autonomy levels differ systematically by agent category. Chat agents maintain Level 1–3 autonomy with turn-based interaction. Each agent was annotated across 45 fields of information, organised into six categories, by seven subject-matter experts, using only publicly available information and developer correspondence.

2. AI Agents in 2025: Expectations vs. Reality | IBM

It’s impossible to take two steps across the tech media landscape without stumbling over an article hailing 2025 as the year of the [AI agent](https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/ai-agents). But what can we realistically expect from [agentic AI](https://www.ibm.com/think/insights/agentic-ai) in 2025, and how will it affect our lives? [AI agents differ from traditional AI assistants](https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/ai-agents-vs-ai-assistants) that need a prompt each time they generate a response. Hay is optimistic that more robust agents are on the way: “You wouldn’t need any further progression in models today to build [future AI agents](https://www.ibm.com/think/insights/ai-agents-evolve-rapidly),” he says. [Learn more](https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/ai-agents). Enterprises will use AI orchestration to coordinate multiple agents and other [machine learning](https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/machine-learning) (ML) models working in tandem and using specific expertise to complete tasks. AI orchestrators could easily become the backbone of enterprise AI systems this year—connecting multiple agents, optimizing [AI workflows](https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/ai-workflow) and handling multilingual and multimedia data,” she opines.
