The Rise of AI Agents
Gartner predicts that by 2028, AI agents will manage 20% of online store interactions and 15% of routine workplace decisions. These agents excel in Natural Language Understanding (NLU), personalization via generative AI, and reasoning capabilities, enabling them to make informed decisions autonomously.
Network Stability with RAN Guardian Agent
Deutsche Telekom’s "RAN Guardian Agent" monitors and optimizes the radio access network (RAN), ensuring stable performance during high-traffic events like soccer matches or New Year’s Eve celebrations. Developed with Google Cloud, this AI agent coordinates three specialized AI systems to detect congestion, reallocate resources, and deactivate unused frequency bands for efficiency.
Business Customer Solutions
Deutsche Telekom offers AI-powered dialog systems for business customers, handling thousands of inquiries via phone, website, or WhatsApp. For example, a health insurance provider uses an AI agent to answer questions about electronic patient records and identify complex issues, seamlessly transferring to human staff when needed.
Logistics and Software Development
- Logistics AI Agent: Digitizes delivery documents, verifies completeness, and integrates data into ERP systems, boosting efficiency at loading docks.
- AI Engineer: Automates code generation, documentation, and testing for both modern and legacy software, significantly speeding up development processes.
Form Assistant for Administrative Efficiency
The Form Assistant simplifies complex application processes for German authorities, digitizing forms like asylum applications and guiding users through each step. It integrates information from uploaded documents and supports multiple languages, making administrative processes more accessible.
AI Foundation Services
Deutsche Telekom’s AI Foundation Services provides secure access to open-source and proprietary AI models, hosted in T-Systems’ high-security data centers. The platform also interfaces with major cloud providers like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, enabling the orchestration of AI agents for complex tasks.
Ethical AI and Human-in-the-Loop
Deutsche Telekom emphasizes responsible AI use, adhering to ethical principles and green AI standards. The human-in-the-loop principle ensures that critical decisions remain under human supervision.
