Do AI Agents Actually Work? The 2026 State of AI, Data & Trust

Almost every team has "adopted AI." Far fewer can honestly say it's governed, grounded in their real data, and actually working in production rather than just demoing well.

This survey captures that operational reality — the part nobody puts in a launch post: the shadow AI no one approved, how AI really reaches your data, whether your foundations are AI-ready, and whether your agents run on their own or need constant babysitting.

Take it and you'll get the finished report back: an honest benchmark of how your answers compare to peers by stage, size, and industry — the reference we all wish existed.
