Atos launches own platform for the development of AI agents

Global IT consulting and services company Atos has launched the Polaris AI Platform – a new platform that helps its clients develop, test and run AI agents.

The new platform comes in response to massive demand for AI agents, which are software robots that can mimic human work and decision-making. Considered as the next dimension of chatbots and robotic process automation, AI agents autonomously deliver and run complex business workflows: conducting tasks, making decisions, and taking actions independently – without having to go for a lunch break or to sleep.

To help its clients tap into the power of AI agents, Atos has developed the Polaris AI Platform. The platform supports engineers at all stages of the development process, from concept and build to integration into business processes.

“With the Polaris AI Platform, we are driving the automation of automation, shifting the paradigm toward fully autonomous agents for software engineering and business processes, and making agentic AI a huge lever for business success. We are proud to make the Polaris AI Platform available worldwide to support businesses as they embrace the Agentic AI era,” said Narendra Naidu, Group Head of Data & AI at Atos.

To fast-track the adoption of agentic AI, Atos has already built several AI agents that can immediately be used by functions including Finance, Procurement, and Operations:

• Quality Assurance: The quality assurance AI agent enables the end-to-end orchestration of quality assurance tasks. It validates and scores business requirements, generates and intelligently executes test cases, and independently creates and publishes test reports. This agent can help reduce efforts and lead-time by 50-60%.
• IT Support Engineer: The IT support engineer assists in automated analysis and resolution of support tickets. It facilitates in-depth analysis of log files across system components to determine the root cause and recommend solutions based on past history. The IT support life-cycle engineer can reduce efforts by 25-35%.
• Contract Analyst: The contract analyst AI agent continuously monitors contracts for compliance risks, and it flags potential breaches through quantified risk analysis and compliance checks. The agent also recommends correction to ensure contracts adhere to regulations and policies. The agent can provide 30-40% reduction in time and efforts for the contracts review cycle.
• Financial Reports Analyst: The financial reports AI analyst can interpret and analyze large financial documents and reports to provide highly accurate summaries and actionable recommendations based on specific requirements. It can also cross-validate information for anomalies or irregularities. This agent can deliver 50-60% productivity improvement in report analysis efforts.

In the coming months, more ‘standard’ AI agents will be added to the portfolio of the Polaris AI Platform.
