Summary

  • IBM has announced several updates to its Watsonx platform at the Think 2025 conference, which reflects the shift towards implementing AI in business models, rather than simply experimenting with it.
  • The updates are designed to help enterprises to deploy agentic AI, rather than AI assistants, and include an AI agent catalog, agent connect partner programme, domain-specific agent templates, a no-code agent builder and an agent development toolkit.
  • IBM also announced Agent Ops, which provides telemetry and observability, however, this remains in private preview.
  • The company is aiming to help businesses to navigate the challenges of integrating AI, such as gaining access to usable data, and enabling collaboration between AI and human workers, as well as ensuring compliance and security.
  • “We’re trying to bridge the gap from where we are today, which is thousands of experiments into enterprise-grade deployments,” IBM’s Ritika Gunnar commented.
