A Databricks 2026 survey found multi-agent system usage jumped 327% over just four months, as companies replace bundles of project-management, CRM, email-marketing, support, and analytics subscriptions with multi-step agents that span systems autonomously. The driver is the per-seat math: when one agent-equipped employee does the work of five, the seat model breaks. The data quantifies what the SaaSpocalypse selloff priced in — consolidation of 5–10 point subscriptions into orchestrated agent workflows.
