## Recent evidence

- [confirms] A Research Proposal Would Make Enterprise Agents Act Before Being Asked (2026-07-11): A new paper argues retrieval and agent frameworks keep AI agents fundamentally reactive and proposes context graphs so agents can anticipate and start work unprompted. It is another research push toward organizational-state modeling as the route to proactive agents, the shift the thesis names.
