As I write these lines, artificial intelligence is already establishing itself as a concrete lever for productivity, automation, and creativity in businesses. And it’s a fundamental trend that will continue to grow, so if you’re reading this article in a few months (weeks, etc.), this content may already be outdated. This article is therefore based on our current practices and knowledge, and in July 2025, at Agerix, a design office specializing in business application development, we integrate these technologies daily into our projects, our methods, and our daily lives. But how can you navigate the profusion of available solutions? This overview offers a selection of AI systems grouped by use case to help you, the professionals, identify what will be truly useful to you, depending on your role or your objectives.
