      Exploring the agentic AI advantage for Aotearoa

      With artificial intelligence continuing to evolve, the next leap forward lies in agentic AI, systems that can act independently to perform tasks, make decisions, and deliver outcomes. For New Zealand, agentic AI presents an opportunity to level the playing field on a global scale. It can help our businesses overcome the constraints of distance, time zones, and scale by creating always-on digital teammates that drive efficiency and innovation.

      By automating routine work and extending the capability of our people, agentic AI has the potential to unlock greater creativity, productivity, and problem-solving capacity across the economy. This report explores the opportunities and challenges agentic AI presents, and how businesses can begin to safely and strategically harness its potential to lift both performance and people.

      From experimentation to implementation — Choosing the right agent for the task

      KPMG has developed a structured classification system called the TACO frameworkᵀᴹ — Taskers, Automators, Collaborators and Orchestrators — that helps organisation make sense of the evolving agentic AI landscape and how to leverage its full capabilities.

      With its practical TACO Framework and tailored strategies, this report allows businesses to navigate emerging opportunities responsibly unlocking an estimated US$3 trillion in corporate productivity improvements globally.1
