AI agents for operational and corporate tasks
AkzoNobel said its AI agents completed more than 1.5 million tasks in 2025
Problem
Manual work in corporate functions created opportunities to reduce processing time and costs.
Approach
AkzoNobel introduced AI agents to execute work and transactions in operations and corporate functions. It validated data and outputs through controlled pilots before scaling. Human review remained where the risk justified it.
Results
Takeaway
The task count documented operating volume, while human validation depended on the risks of each workflow.
