At Shaping Tomorrow, we're thrilled to introduce AI Agents within our Futures & Foresight platform, empowering strategists, futurists, innovators, and investors like you to navigate and explore possible futures with unparalleled ease.
What is an AI Agent in the context of Shaping Tomorrow?
Think of one or several AI Agents as your personal assistants, provocators, gatherers and more on our foresight platform.
It's not just another tool or feature—it's a dynamic collaborator that interacts, gathers relevant insight and helps you connect the dots in an increasingly complex world.
What makes AI Agents different?
Unlike traditional platform functionalities that require step-by-step input or guidance, AI Agents act partly autonomously.
They proactively:
-
Scan global signals and trends.
-
Analyze connections between existing knowledge and emerging issues.
-
Deliver tailored insights and viewpoints directly to you.
AI Agents are designed to think with you, not just for you—providing real-time, actionable foresight to help you stay ahead.
How can AI Agents help you?
Whether you're developing a strategy, creating innovations or planning investments, AI Agents amplify your capabilities:
-
Futurists: Automatically identify emerging trends and weak signals.
-
Strategists: Simulate and explore potential scenarios faster than ever.
-
Innovators: Spot disruptive technologies and market opportunities.
-
Investors: Receive early-warning insights on risks and opportunities.
-
Researchers: Discover connections and insights in the data and knowledge that are difficult to spot.
Imagine a roundtable discussion about the future, with each participant bringing unique perspectives, expertise and insight. Now replace those human participants with AI Agents. Each agent at the table represents a distinct specialty - technology, sustainability, economics, or innovation—and contributes to the discussion with data-driven insight.
These AI Agents analyze shared documents, highlight relevant trends, and even debate trade-offs and strategies. They collaborate by weighing risks and opportunities, offering alternative viewpoints, and suggesting actionable paths forward.
In this way, AI Agents aren't just tools—they are active, intelligent collaborators that enrich futures scenario discussions, ensuring every angle is considered while you remain in control to finalize decisions - This is all done in minutes rather than hours, days or weeks.
With an AI Agent by your side, you'll spend less time searching for answers and more time focusing on strategy and creating the future.
Experience the Future Today
AI Agents are just the beginning. As we continue to innovate, your feedback will shape how these agents evolve to meet your needs.
What are your thoughts? We'd love to engage with you in exploring the new agentic frontier - Let's shape tomorrow together today.
Stay curious,
