For decision-makers, xpander.ai represents more than an AI solution—it’s a forward-thinking investment in enterprise resilience, adaptability, and sustainable growth.

AI Agents are particularly suitable for tasks that are clearly outlined in runbooks and manuals. If a job can be described in an operating manual intended for a temporary worker, an AI Agent can also perform it. xpander.ai’s goal is to advance to a point where users can utilize the xpander.ai platform even when the desired outcome is known but lacks a clearly defined manual or runbook.

AI Agents built on xpander.ai utilize tool-calling (also known as function calling) to enhance their capabilities significantly. This feature allows AI Agents to interact with external tools, APIs, and functions, allowing them to perform tasks that go beyond simple text generation. Such interactions are essential for accessing real-time data, executing specialized tasks, and automating complex workflows. This capability helps bridge the gap between AI functionality and real-world applications, ultimately enhancing productivity and the user experience. By breaking down complex goals into smaller subtasks, AI Agents can reason through each step and utilize available tools to address knowledge gaps.

For example, an AI agent for invoice processing would be trained on a company’s policies and procedures related to invoice processing. This agent would also have access to the company’s financial systems, such as the ERP system. The agent would receive invoices as they arrive, either electronically or through physical mail. The agent would extract the relevant information from the invoice, such as the vendor name, invoice number, invoice date, and line items. The agent would then compare the invoice information to the company’s purchase orders and contracts to ensure the invoice is accurate. If the invoice is correct, the agent will approve it for payment. If the invoice is inaccurate, the agent would investigate and escalate the discrepancy to a human supervisor or collaborate with other specialized AI agents to gather all necessary information.

The AI agent’s ability to access external databases and collaborate with other AI Agents enables the AI Agent to provide the most optimal process and outcome. This is just one example of an AI agent in an enterprise environment. There are numerous other potential use cases for AI agents, including customer service, sales, marketing, and human resources. The ability to interact with external tools and other agents makes these AI systems more adaptable and capable of handling a broader range of tasks compared to traditional AI models. Furthermore, AI agents can enhance their reasoning and improve their performance over time by learning from each interaction and user feedback.

Here’s how xpander.ai allows you to build and manage AI agents in-house:

AI Agent Builder: Enables users to create AI Agents that make autonomous decisions, execute tasks, and adapt their behavior. xpander.ai’s intuitive visual interface allows rapid AI Agent development and workflow design without specifying every step, as agents dynamically adjust steps and parameters in real-time to complete tasks independently.

Agent Graph System: The core of xpander.ai’s platform, this system enables AI Agents to execute adaptable, multi-step workflows. Agents dynamically select the most relevant tools, APIs, and actions in real-time, responding flexibly to changing conditions and context. Instead of following rigid, predefined workflows, agents can dynamically select the most relevant APIs, tools, and actions at each step of the task flow based on the current context and data.

Agentic Interfaces: xpander.ai provides a library of pre-built connectors for popular platforms and APIs or custom integration points that allow AI Agents to interact with external systems, platforms, and APIs, enriching the agent’s capabilities. This means your agents can access the data and tools they need to perform their tasks without requiring you to build custom integrations. AI Agents can seamlessly integrate with existing enterprise systems and data sources.

Prompt Groups: Function like specialized instruction manuals for AI agents. They ensure that the AI remains focused and utilizes the appropriate information when executing various tasks. Consider this analogy: Imagine you have a team of new employees, and you want them to perform specific tasks efficiently. You wouldn’t simply give them general instructions and expect them to figure everything out.

Source Nodes: They are the starting points for AI Agents in xpander.ai. They act like doorways that allow the AI agent to receive information and commands from different sources, like Slack, email, or other business systems. Think of them as the “ears” and “eyes” of the AI agent, allowing it to interact with the real world.
