From Automating Tasks to Automating Outcomes
We’ve already seen how AI can write content, summarize emails, and generate code.But now, AI is starting to think, plan, and act across entire workflows.
Welcome to the age of Agentic AI.
Unlike traditional automation or prompt-based AI, agentic systems can:
Set goals
Plan multi-step actions
Execute tasks using APIs or tools
Retry when something fails
Adapt to changing inputs
This isn’t just about doing work faster.It’s about redefining who does the work—and how.
What Jobs Are Being Disrupted First?
Agentic AI doesn’t replace entire roles right away—but it does unbundle tasks.
Most disrupted functions:
Domain | Disruption Examples |
Operations | Task assignment, KPI reporting, follow-up reminders |
Finance | Data reconciliation, monthly reporting, invoice parsing |
Customer Success | Helpdesk automation, onboarding sequences |
Executive Support | Calendar coordination, note summaries, briefing prep |
Family Office Ops | NAV aggregation, bank statement parsing, investment alerts |
Agents don’t need rest. They don’t forget steps. And they scale horizontally without hiring.
What Makes Agentic AI Different?
Capability | Traditional Automation | Generative AI | Agentic AI |
Responds to triggers | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
Plans & adapts goals | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
Interacts with tools | Limited | ❌ | ✅ |
Uses memory | ❌ | Limited | ✅ |
Operates without constant input | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
Agentic AI is like hiring a junior employee who never sleeps and works across departments.
Use Cases Across the Work Spectrum
Let’s explore how agentic AI is already in use today:
🧠 In Finance & Ops:
Auto-generating PDF reports from structured data
Reconciling transactions across banks, wallets, and systems
Triggering compliance alerts when thresholds are hit
🧑💼 In Admin & Back Office:
Scraping calendars, scheduling follow-ups
Summarizing meetings and assigning action items
Filing documents into knowledge bases
👨👩👧👦 In Family Offices:
Extracting investment data from custodians
Generating summaries for principals or heirs
Preparing client-ready briefings across multiple entities
What It Means for the Future of Teams
The real question isn’t “Will AI take your job?”It’s: How much of your job can be delegated to AI?
Agentic AI will reshape teams in two ways:
Lean teams will scale faster without adding headcount
Mid-sized companies will reduce bloat by giving every employee an AI assistant
In the near future, your most productive employee may be…an agent.
Turoid’s Vision — AI That Actually Does the Work
At Turoid, we’re building agentic AI systems for:
Finance teams
Venture-backed operators
Professional service firms
Our goal: give teams more output per person by embedding agents into everyday workflows—from document parsing to reporting to client comms.
We’ve seen clients save hours every week per user by offloading:
PDF statement parsing
Internal updates
Cross-system coordination
Data summarization
Conclusion — You’re Not Competing with AI. You’re Competing with People Using It.
Agentic AI isn’t science fiction. It’s already in motion.
The teams who win will be the ones who:
Design workflows for humans + agents
Track how much work gets done, not who does it
Use agents to free up humans for high-context strategy
