# Survey: most enterprise 'AI agents' are still chatbots

*2026-07-15 · Source: [VentureBeat](https://venturebeat.com/ai/agentic-orchestration-enterprise-ai-organizations-have-a-deployment-problem-not-a-platform-problem-and-most-are-calling-chatbots-agents)*

A VentureBeat survey of 101 enterprises found agent orchestration consolidating onto model-provider platforms, with Anthropic's Claude used by 40%, Microsoft by 18%, and OpenAI by 13%. The report found most deployed "agents" are still chatbot wrappers rather than true multi-step orchestration, and real-time cost controls over token spending remain rare.

**Why it matters:** It highlights a gap between how enterprises talk about AI agents and how they're actually deployed.

**Topics:** products, research
