ClickHouse
Agent platform
A no-code, conversational agent builder inside ClickHouse Cloud that lets users query and analyze ClickHouse data through natural-language chat, with Claude models wired in as the default.
Platform
Agent-native observability platform ('observability built for agents and humans') combining semantic investigation tools -- trace waterfalls, event-pattern detection, time-series analysis -- with ClickHouse's analytical engine, distinct from the existing ClickHouse Agents no-code builder.
Data service
Managed ClickHouse service on AWS, GCP and Azure whose console carries ClickHouse's own AI layer — the ClickHouse Assistant for writing and debugging SQL, the no-code ClickHouse Agents builder, a remote MCP server and Langfuse Cloud for LLM observability — on top of the open-source column-oriented analytics database.
IBM
Agent platform
A conversational AI platform for building customer-support chatbots and virtual assistants deployed across voice and digital channels.
Platform for building and running AI agents that call enterprise applications on a user's behalf.
Platform
An agentic AI IT-operations platform that unifies observability, optimization and automated remediation across applications, infrastructure and networks.
Studio for building, tuning and deploying model-based applications on IBM and third-party foundation models.
A governance platform providing real-time visibility, policy enforcement and accountability tracking for AI models and agents across the AI lifecycle.
Data service
An open hybrid data lakehouse including a built-in Milvus vector database that unifies data access and automates governance for AI and analytics workloads.
No counterpart
IBM sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for ClickHouse yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
Protects enterprise data across AI agents, applications and endpoints against agentic-AI, regulatory and post-quantum risks.
Full-stack application and infrastructure observability powered by agentic AI, including automatic discovery/mapping of GenAI workflows and AI-driven Smart Alerts to reduce alert fatigue.
AI-driven robotic process automation for building intelligent bots that automate business processes, with AI-embedded resilience built into the RPA runtime.
Visual data-science and machine-learning platform for building predictive models, with advanced algorithms, model deployment and open-source framework integration.
Document intelligence platform using OCR, NLP enrichments (entity/sentiment/emotion/category extraction) and LLM integration to automate information discovery from enterprise documents.
API service
Deep-learning text analytics service extracting entities, sentiment, emotion, concepts, semantic roles and custom classifications from unstructured text.
A speech recognition API that converts audio into real-time or batch text for transcription, captioning and voice-analytics use cases.
A text-to-speech API that converts text into multilingual synthesized speech using neural voices.
Developer tool
An AI coding agent that automates planning, code generation, review and verification across the software development lifecycle, including IBM Z mainframe modernization workflows.
A generative AI assistant for IBM Z mainframe application discovery, code generation, refactoring and modernization.
