Agents as negotiators
Groups of agents can make decisions or form coalitions
Applications (like meeting schedulers) involving complex time-constraints can be easily handled by agents without the person bothering about the intricate constraint balancing (or perhaps without hurting anyone's feelings)
Agents can also handle humanly unmanageable situations because of computational ability and agility
