IBM
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.
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.
