The conversation around AI Agents is white-hot, but a crucial question remains: Should we chase the dream of the “omnipotent” General Agent or focus on the immediate, tangible value of the “small and beautiful” Vertical Agent? The Vertu VPS (Vantage President's Suite) asserts that while the future belongs to the General Agent, short-term value lies firmly in vertical scenarios. The VPS is the ultimate platform for business leaders to quickly build these Vertical Agents and realize the power of the AI Agent Phone.
The Three Hurdles Facing General Agents
General Agents, like Manus, promise to operate all software and automate every report. While impressive on paper, their path to wide-scale implementation is blocked by three harsh realities, making them currently “large but not precise.”
- The Door of Reliability: General Agents rely on a long task chain, which means the possibility of error at every step. This complexity results in a very low final success rate, requiring excessive manual intervention to deliver reliable results.
- The Door of Data Barriers: These agents largely use public data, which lacks the necessary industry depth to build effective barriers in professional fields like finance and medicine. They can't offer the proprietary insights your business needs.
- The Door of Cost and Efficiency: General Agents are extremely expensive to explore, demanding high computing power to achieve the real-time interaction necessary for genuine utility. This makes them financially unviable for most small and medium enterprises.
General Agents represent the future, but they are still far from large-scale, reliable applications for immediate cost reduction and efficiency gains.
Why Vertical Agents are the Immediate Value Anchor
In contrast to the high-cost uncertainty of their general counterparts, Vertical Agents are “down-to-earth” and maximize value in specific, focused fields.
- Precision and Proprietary Data: Vertical Agents focus on high-quality, proprietary data and in-depth domain knowledge. For example, specialized Medical Agents (like PathAI for cancer detection) or Financial Agents (like Kensho for report analysis) can achieve diagnostic or accuracy rates that exceed human experts or even general models like GPT-4.
- Commercial Closed Loop: The value of the Vertical Agent lies in its ability to drive a direct commercial closed loop—it solves a specific, high-value business problem with targeted optimization, leading to an immediate return on investment.
