Common Failure Patterns in AI Agent Adoption
"We introduced an AI Agent, but the results weren't what we expected." "In the end, nobody in the field kept using it." We're hearing these comments more and more often. In most cases, the cause isn't the technology's performance. There are common stumbling patterns in how the rollout itself is carried out. This article organizes five failure patterns frequently seen in AI Agent adoption projects, and how to avoid each one.
What Is an MCP Server? A Practical Look at AI Agent Integration Through Invoice Review Automation
At the end of each month, someone has to open every invoice issued that month and manually check the invoice number, date, exchange rate, VAT, language, and line-item wording — a quiet but unavoidable task for many back-office teams. This article walks through a real example at Bunbu of using MCP (Model Context Protocol) to bring an AI Agent into this invoice review process, and explains what MCP is and what it really means to safely integrate AI into an internal business system. The point isn't "leave everything to AI." The AI automatically fixes what can be judged mechanically, while anything involving money or business judgment is always decided by a person — and that boundary is enforced at the code level. That's precisely where the value of MCP lies.
ChatGPT Shopping and ACP: How Should Existing EC Systems Prepare for the Age of AI Commerce?
As ChatGPT's shopping features evolve, AI agents are increasingly likely to become a new e-commerce channel. This article explains the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) and how to think about connecting an existing EC system to AI agents like ChatGPT. Rather than rebuilding an entire EC system from scratch, Bunbu analyzes the existing Product, Inventory, Pricing, and Promotion data and APIs, identifies the gaps needed for ACP support, and supports everything from Integration Architecture design through a PoC to a Production Roadmap. We introduce a practical approach to evolving an existing EC system into an "AI-ready Commerce" platform.
The AI War: Who Will Win?
This piece draws a parallel between today's AI race and the history of computing (from mainframes to the PC), arguing that open source could become the "giant slayer" against closed models like OpenAI/Anthropic. The main argument rests on three strengths of open source: security/privacy (on-premise operation), fast customization/fine-tuning, and near-zero marginal cost from self-hosting. It also points out that if open source reaches roughly 90-95% of closed-model performance, and consumer AI hardware (NPUs) advances enough for "local AI" to spread, closed-model companies could lose momentum. It concludes that the future may split in two: closed models pushed toward extremely hard, frontier-level problems, and open models spreading as a general-purpose foundation running on billions of devices.
