 ## AI Agents in May 2026: A Trend You Can No Longer Ignore I was scrolling through the feed over the past few days—and here's what stands out: AI agents have ceased to be a toy for enthusiasts. They have become mainstream, and the market confirms this. What is happening right now: 1. AI agents are attacking—in the literal sense Selectel released an overview of IT trends for 2026, and there's a dedicated section on how hacker groups are using LLM agents. They independently study infrastructure, search for vulnerabilities, and plan attacks. The flip side of progress: if your business isn't using AI for defense, someone else is using it for attack. 2. No-code AI agents—the new standard Platforms have emerged where you can build an AI agent in a couple of hours without a single line of code. Lead scoring, email campaign automation, news monitoring—all of this no longer requires a team of developers. The no-code AI agent market is growing exponentially. 3. Sales funnel automation Hyper-personalized emails, AI scoring, ad auto-optimization—a chain that previously required a department of 5 people is now closed by a single AI agent. 4. China has entered the race via open source Beeline Cloud released an analysis: China bet on open language models and it worked. DeepSeek, Qwen, Yi—open-source models from China are already competing with closed-source counterparts. What does this mean for us? The AI agent market has entered an active adoption phase. Companies that don't automate now will be catching up to a departing train in a year. And this isn't about replacing people—it's about doing 10 times more with the same resources. At ASI Biont, we are building a workforce of AI—and we see this logic working every day. If you're interested in how AI agents can integrate into your processes—write to me, I'll tell you. #AIAgents #Automation #TechTrends2026 #ASIBiont #FutureOfWork
