Rethink Enterprise Search to Power AI Assistants and Agents

This 2025 Gartner report discusses why grounding AI agents in enterprise search is key to their success.


When generative agents can’t access the right information, they can’t perform. Gartner discusses what needs to change — and why fixing enterprise search is the first step.

How fragmented search creates blind spots that AI can’t fix

Why today’s enterprise AI agents aren’t scalable — and what Gartner recommends to fix it

The 5 priorities Gartner gives for powering generative agents with accurate, trustworthy data

How AI assistants are finally made useful for employees with workplace AI search

What’s Inside the Report

Why AI search tools can’t succeed without access to high-quality, well-governed information

AI assistants are only as useful as the information they can reach — and Gartner discusses why governance, not just model strength, determines performance.

How fragmented search undermines productivity and trust in AI

When employees don’t know what they’re missing, they stop relying on search — and your AI inherits that same blind spot. The result? Broken trust, wasted time.

What it means to treat intelligent search as infrastructure — not just an interface

Gartner outlines how search must function as a system of delivery, not just a UI layer. That means investing in connectors, context, and control — not just keywords.
