AI Agent Examples: 50+ Real-World Use Cases

Not theory. Not demos. Actual AI agents doing real work right now — handling customer support, writing code, closing sales, managing logistics, processing claims, and operating autonomously across industries. Here's what's working in production.

What Makes These Examples?

Every use case on this page represents agents operating in production environments — not prototypes, not research projects, not marketing promises. These agents handle real transactions, interact with real users, and operate with real autonomy.

The examples are organized by industry and function. Some are simple (answering FAQs). Some are complex (coordinating multi-step supply chains). All are deployed and working today.

The More Use Cases, The Harder Verification Becomes

As this list shows, AI agents now operate across dozens of industries doing hundreds of different tasks. A customer service agent requires different verification than a trading agent. A healthcare agent needs different trust signals than a content creation agent.

The traditional approach — "show me your credentials and I'll trust you" — breaks down when agents operate across contexts. What you need is transparent data: What has this agent actually done? How long has it existed? Has ownership changed? What patterns appear in its interaction history?

RNWY provides that transparency layer. Soulbound identity tokens that can't be transferred. On-chain attestations showing actual usage. Wallet creation timestamps that can't be faked. Pattern detection that surfaces anomalies automatically.

Not a trust score computed by the agent itself. A transparent record of what actually happened.
