We discovered:  
  • What an AI agent actually is and isn’t including why an agent is a system, not a model, and why the LLM is a tool rather than the “brain”.
     
  • How leading players such as Dell and Anthropic frame agents through systems thinking, not prompt engineering or product marketing.
     
  • Why the knowledge layer matters more than model choice, including the role of structured data, permissions, memory and context.
     
  • Where AI agents sit on the Gartner hype cycle, why peak hype hit in mid-2025, and the growing gap between expectations and operational reality.
     
  • Where agents can work today in hospitality workflows, where humans must stay firmly in the loop, and why fully autonomous use cases remain high risk.
     
  • Low-risk, non-agentic AI use cases that are already delivering value across guest communication and staff operations.
     
  • Why “one AI tool for everyone” is a myth in hospitality, and how fit-for-purpose systems outperform generalised solutions.
     
  • How to evaluate AI vendors properly, including the questions property managers should be asking before deploying AI into guest-facing environments.
