How AI agents can take over up to 80% of manual data-processing work and lift operational productivity.
In 2026 many companies are moving from experimenting with generative AI to building it into everyday operations. At the centre of that shift are autonomous AI agents that make decisions and carry out tasks on their own.
How much manual data work can you hand over?
Reading invoices, re-keying data and giving first responses to enquiries are routine tasks where AI agents shine. A well-designed agent can take over up to 80% of this kind of manual data processing.
The key is to define clearly what the AI handles and where people stay in the loop. At Shellfa we start by analysing the business workflow, then roll out agents step by step, integrated securely with internal systems.
