Agentic AI is shifting from cloud-only experiments to on-device assistants that run at the desk. That changes where work happens, how sensitive data is handled, and what CIOs must include in AI strategy and device refresh plans.
Agentic AI is arriving on endpoints: devices are becoming local AI execution layers that improve responsiveness and reduce data movement for selected workflows.
Irish context matters: Ireland ranks fifth in the EU for generative AI adoption (44% of businesses) and faces specific data sovereignty and regulation considerations.
Governance and hybrid architecture are essential: run some agentic workloads locally to manage cost, protect sensitive data, and provide safe developer test environments.
By Jim O Brien/CEO Sep 23, 2026 Agentic AI is beginning to change the workplace conversation. For years, AI was mainly seen as a data centre or cloud challenge: where to find enough compute, how to store enough data and how to manage cost at scale. Tara Gale, Clients Solutions Country Lead at Dell Technologies Ireland tells us more.
That matters because local AI will only scale when hardware capability becomes useful in everyday productivity, creativity, security, and collaboration. Use local compute to manage cost and iteration risk Agentic AI changes AI economics because a single workflow can involve many steps: planning, retrieval, tool use, validation and retries. In Ireland, this matters because AI adoption is shaped by data sovereignty, privacy, security, and regulated-sector requirements.
That still matters, but it is no longer the full story. That is why the desk is becoming part of the AI strategy being developed by businesses in Ireland. Engineers want local performance for complex models.

Artificial intelligence has moved from a specialist technology discussion to a broader business investment question. For Irish technology leaders, the issue is no longer simply whether AI belongs on the agenda. The more difficult questions are where investment should go, how value should be measured and what governance
Instead of waiting for a prompt and returning a response as chatbots do, AI agents can use tools, make decisions, and take actions to work toward a goal. But how well does that… The post From AI-native to the agentic era: What does it mean for business owners? appeared first on Hostinger Blog .
Agentic AI has the potential to change SaaS from software that users primarily operate into software that can increasingly perform bounded business outcomes on their behalf. That is a much more significant change than adding an AI assistant to an existing application. The transition affects product architecture, user e
Agency retainers have been under pressure for two years. A design agency charging a monthly fee for social graphics, product visuals and campaign artwork now competes with software that produces a usable version of the same thing in seconds. Plenty of Irish SMEs have already cancelled a retainer on that basis. Some of
As students across Ireland make the move from secondary school to third level, it’s clear that AI is already becoming a part of how they study and learn. Tara Gale, Clients Solutions Country Lead at Dell Technologies Ireland tells us more The AI campus is no longer a future concept. It is already taking shape […] The p
