Networking Predictions in 2026: From Automation Experiments to Agent-Driven Operations

Network automation has been evolving over the past 10 years – scripts, playbooks, infrastructure as code. Today, AI is accelerating that progress significantly. In this video, John Capobianco shares his take on what's changing in 2026 and what it means for network operations.

These aren't just predictions, they're real documentation of what Itential is delivering right now:

🔹 Agents as first-class actors – FlowAI provides the framework
🔹 Orchestration as the backbone – The Itential Platform provides the foundation
🔹 Agent-driven operations – Dynamic reasoning replaces static runbooks
🔹 Skills evolution – We're making advanced automation accessible
🔹 Intent-first infrastructure – Natural language to infrastructure actions at scale

This isn't theoretical. Teams are already using these approaches in production. John walks through what's working, what needs structure, and where the industry is moving.

Organizations that treat agents + orchestration as add-ons will fall behind. The ones moving fastest are building these as foundational infrastructure. Where does your team stand?
