Agent builder

Describe the work. Get an agent.

Explain a workflow in plain English. IBM watsonx Orchestrate drafts the agent: its steps, the tools it needs and where a person reviews. No code. Octane then connects it to your systems.

Try the Agent Designer

Map the actual expense on the active invoices to the active POs. Match on PO number, sum the expenses for each PO and flag any PO that's overspent.

Auditable AI

Every step traceable. People review where it matters.

These are the real steps our agents run. Agents gather the evidence, code applies the rules, and a person reviews before money moves or a decision is final.

  • Every finding cites its source: the document, page and quote
  • Decisions are made by fixed rules in code, not by a prompt
  • A person approves anything irreversible
  • Every step is written to a hash-chained audit trail
