If you’ve ever wondered how to use AI Agents to better your business, it’s time to to pay attention. When ChatGPT-5 recently rolled out its shiny new AI Agent feature, the internet went into a collective “wait, what?” moment. Because, (newsflash!) AI agents aren’t just some sci-fi fantasy anymore – they’ve officially hit the mainstream. Think of them as little digital teammates who don’t just take notes or schedule your meetings, but actually do the work. Like managing workflows, pulling insights, and automating the bits of business life that normally suck up your precious time (and sanity).
Analysts at Gartner predict that by 2026, more than 80% of enterprises will be using AI agents daily. So, if you’re a founder, a freelancer, or even just the unofficial “project manager” of your household, the question isn’t if you’ll be working with AI agents – it’s when. And more importantly, how fast should you jump in before your competitors (or your colleagues) leave you behind?
That’s exactly where Sydney-based consultancy AI2Easy comes in. Founded by power pair Garima Singh and Nikhil Singh (feature image, left and centre), the company is already helping Australian businesses swap the busywork for smart systems that actually scale. Their client list includes over 40 businesses and counting, each using AI agents to:
- Eliminate manual bottlenecks (bye endless admin).
- Systemise workflows (so everything doesn’t fall back on the founder’s shoulders).
- Connect siloed systems for faster, smarter decisions.
One of their early wins is with Media In Action, the boutique creative agency led by Mia Vicary (feature image, right). Picture a team of PR pros juggling campaigns, client feedback, and way too many email threads. Now picture that same team saving six hours a week per person because AI agents quietly took over reporting, document creation, and admin. The result is a 40% faster client turnaround time – and a whole lot less late-night laptop sessions.
But, here’s what makes this shift so refreshing: it’s not about replacing people with robots. It’s about creating human-first automation – freeing up your brain (and bandwidth) for the creative, strategic, and actually-fun parts of work. Mia puts it simply: “It’s scalable automation that solves real pain points – without losing the human touch.”
Garima, who also hosts the newly launched podcast AI In Focus, knows the real secret sauce lies in balance. As a former business analyst turned AI strategist, she’s seen firsthand how the wrong systems can hold women (especially founders and leaders) back from scaling. Her mission now is to help businesses embrace AI without losing sight of oversight, accountability, and yes, ethics. Meanwhile, Nikhil brings Silicon Valley weight to the table, with over two decades of experience in AI ventures. Together, they’re making sure Australian companies don’t just dabble in AI – they thrive with it.
So what does this all mean for you? If you’ve ever wished for an extra pair of hands, a virtual chief-of-staff, or a way to finally switch off at 6 pm without guilt, AI agents might just be your new BFF. They’re not a magic wand (you’ll still need to bring the ideas, the vision, and the strategy). But, they are a serious tool for working smarter – not harder.
And with women like Garima and Mia leading the way, it feels like the future of AI isn’t about cold code or faceless tech. It’s about building businesses – and lives – that run smoother, scale faster, and leave more room for the good stuff.
Because, If the robots are finally ready to do the paperwork, we should probably let them. (Not to work out how to get them to meal prep …)
