o9, a leading enterprise AI software platform provider for
transforming planning and decision-making, today announced that it
has enhanced its Digital Brain platform by incorporating generative
AI-powered Large Language Model (LLM) composite agents. These
next-generation agents are designed to revolutionize the way
planners execute complex tasks, driving continued improvement in
integrated business planning capabilities.
o9’s composite agents are built on a foundation of atomic
agents, which are AI-driven systems that are capable of performing
tasks, retrieving information and generating responses to queries
based upon specific inputs, coupled with Large Language Model (LLM)
systems that are trained in information that is specific to a
business.
Within the o9 Digital Brain platform’s core Enterprise Knowledge
Graph (EKG), composite agents are able to integrate a sequence of
atomic agents to perform more complicated exercises that can be
used in cross-functional planning processes, such as building a
forecast or post-game analysis. This is done through a sequence of
retrieving and synthesizing data to arrive at an outcome, such as
analyzing month-to-month forecast changes or providing a post-game
analysis of the previous quarter to compare a prior forecast to
actual results and perform root-cause analysis on forecast
inaccuracies. Additionally, composite agents are trained on the
‘recipes’ followed by an organization's planning experts and are
able to continuously learn from feedback. This results in agents
getting better at arriving at the desired outcome.
“Our Digital Brain’s EKG offers cross-functionality as it
touches supply chain, finance, procurement, commercial, customers
and suppliers. It connects the knowledge of all these entities –
and is constantly accumulating new knowledge as well,” said Anand
Srinivasan, o9’s Chief Strategy Officer. “Now we are deploying
composite agents that can do a lot more cross-functional
analysis.”
Srinivasan continued, “Typically, an employee within a
particular function only has the purview of knowledge, people, and
systems within their department; they don’t look across and
consider, ‘How does my decision impact someone else in a different
department or organization?’ Hence, a lot of things get missed, and
there is a lot of value leakage. This is another thing these
composite agents can help solve by becoming more cross-functional
in their analysis.”
“In the years to come, we believe that the quality of a
business’s digital knowledge and how it informs the company’s
business planning and decision-making will be a competitive
advantage that propels it forward,” said Chakri Gottemukkala,
Co-Founder and CEO of o9. “Part of what makes today’s sophisticated
AI systems so powerful and versatile is the focused expertise and
teamwork between atomic agents and the holistic oversight of
composite agents that can manage a series of tasks and integrate
their outputs to achieve overarching business initiatives. At o9,
we’re committed to continuously incorporating the most effective AI
technologies into our o9 Digital Brain platform to give our clients
access to cutting-edge innovations.”
