AI Agents

Autonomous systems that execute workflows and answer hard questions

LLM-powered agents that call tools, pull from multiple data sources, run multi-step analysis, and take action—with human oversight where it matters.

What an agentic solution of ours actually looks like

Why Softmax for AI Agents

We're not a tool installation shop. We build custom AI agent systems with deep business context—and we've been doing it for 7 years.

We build context, not wrappers

We encode your business logic into agents that outperform generic tools.

We interview your staff, understand your business model, and encode the subtle details into a business context layer. Our agents outperform generic tools like Databricks AI or Claude Cowork because they understand your domain—not just general patterns.

Agents that call tools—and create them

Not just pre-built integrations—dynamic tooling when needed.

Our agents don't just use pre-built integrations. They call external tools such as AWS SageMaker, SalesForce; they also dynamically create their own tooling when needed. That's the difference between a demo and a production system.

Real AI engineers, not YouTube graduates

LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen—we know the trade-offs.

We're a team of AI/ML engineers and data scientists who've shipped systems to production for 7 years—not consultants who discovered AI last year. We build with LangGraph, CrewAI, and AutoGen because we understand the trade-offs, not because they're trending.

Autonomous systems that reason, act, and iterate

An agent isn't a prompt wrapper or a chatbot. It's an LLM-powered system that calls tools, executes workflows, and completes tasks with minimal human intervention.

Tool Calling

Query databases, call APIs, execute code, read files—agents use tools to get real work done

Multi-Step Reasoning

Break complex tasks into steps, iterate based on results, and adapt when things don't go as planned

Multi-Source Integration

Pull from warehouse, CRM, spreadsheets, APIs, and documents—not just one system

Human Oversight

Guardrails, approval gates, and audit trails—so agents stay within bounds

What We've Built

1

Questions that used to take weeks

Deep analytics agents

Business questions that required analysts pulling data, building models, and iterating for weeks—now answered instantly.

The agent reasons through large data volumes, asks its own follow-ups, runs intermediate analysis, and produces answers that hold up to scrutiny.

Example:

Retailer using agent for inventory optimization and acquisition analysis—shortened analytics cycles from 2 weeks to instant, avoided a $3MM bad acquisition.

2

Work that varies but needs consistent results

Variable input, consistent output

Data sources change client-to-client, format-to-format—but the output quality has to be consistent.

The agent reasons through the variation instead of breaking on edge cases. Humans review the output, not every step.

Example:

Flywheel's multi-source reporting across different client data setups—12% productivity gain, ability to take on more clients, consistent service quality.

3

Documents that don't fit templates

Intelligent document processing

Insurance intake forms, appraisal reports, manufacturing docs—every document is different.

But you need consistent data extraction and entry. The agent handles extraction, validation, and workflow routing—not just OCR.

Example:

Insurance workflows with highly variable document formats, consistent data entry into downstream systems.

Where we've shipped AI Agents
