AI Agents

Autonomous systems that execute workflows and answer hard questions

Built by the team behind Engram, the open-source memory layer for AI agents. We don't just integrate agent frameworks—we build the infrastructure that makes agents reliable in production.

What an agentic solution of ours actually looks like

Why companies choose Softmax for agentic AI

We're not a tool installation shop. We build custom agent systems with deep business context—and we've been doing it since before "agentic" was a buzzword.

Agents running real businesses, today

Not demos—production systems that companies depend on daily.

Our agents run Flywheel's cross-client reporting (60 hrs/week saved) and power agentic analytics for a premium retailer (avoided a $3.5M loss). These aren't prototypes—they're systems that business operations depend on every day.

We build the infrastructure layer, not just the agents

Engram, our open-source memory layer, powers the agents we ship.

Most consultancies assemble pre-built pieces. We go deeper—we built and open-sourced Engram, a persistent context database that gives agents memory across sessions, models, and teams. When you hire Softmax, you're hiring the team that understood the problem deeply enough to build the infrastructure and give it away for free.

Fluent in the hard parts of agentic AI

Orchestration, context engineering, security, observability—not just prompting.

Building a reliable agent means solving orchestration across multi-step chains, managing context windows that don't silently degrade, locking down tool permissions so agents stay in bounds, and tracing every decision for auditability. We've worked through these problems across dozens of production deployments—not in theory, in shipped systems.

We build context, not wrappers

Your business logic encoded 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 because they understand your domain—not just general patterns. That's context engineering applied to your specific problem.

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

We didn't just adopt agent frameworks. We built the missing piece.

Every agent framework has the same blind spot: agents forget everything between sessions. After hitting this wall on client projects, we built Engram — an open-source context database that gives agents persistent, cross-model memory. It stores knowledge as atomic concepts, learns from outcomes, and works across Claude, GPT, Gemini, or any LLM.

When you hire Softmax for agent work, you're hiring the people who understood the problem deeply enough to build the infrastructure layer — and then gave it away for free. That's the level of depth we bring to every engagement.

Persists across sessions — agents pick up where they left off
Cross-model — switch between Claude, GPT, Gemini without losing context
Learns from outcomes — useful knowledge gets stronger over time
Multi-agent safe — concurrent agents, serialized writes
MIT licensed — use it freely, no vendor lock-in

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.
