Exploring the Commercialization Dilemma of AI Agents: Hype vs. Paying Customers

Only one report on this topic is available at present. On November 4, 2026, Juejin published "The AI Agent commercialization dilemma: glamorous launch events and lukewarm paying customers". The article argues that the AI Agent sector is currently facing a commercialization dilemma in which launch events are dazzling while paying customers remain scarce. The author examines the gap between Agent demonstrations on stage and their actual deployment, and dissects the adoption challenges Agents face in real business settings. The piece describes a launch event the author scrolled into late at night: lights piercing the venue dome, holographic projections spinning overhead, and an AI Agent on a huge curved screen automatically reading contracts, breaking down tasks, calling APIs, and producing plans, its sequence of actions as fluid as a dance, while speakers took the stage. Because only this single report exists, the topic can only be documented to this point, and no further developments can be verified.
