You can add agentic AI capabilities to existing business processes by wrapping them with policy-governed agents at specific control points, rather than rebuilding the entire system.
This paper introduces a 'process harness'—a layer that adds AI reasoning to existing business workflows without replacing them. It uses three types of AI agents (for tasks, decisions, and flow control) that operate within policy guardrails, letting legacy systems maintain structural control while gaining adaptive intelligence at key decision points.
