Enterprise Agent Platforms
agent platforms from major business software vendors for building and running AI agents inside their own application suites and data
Research current as of October 2026.
What this category promises
Suite vendors now sell agents as "digital labor" that works inside their platform's data and permissions, plus control planes to govern agents built anywhere. Inside their own system, they have the best context there is. Outside it, most reach other software through connectors, MCP, agent-to-agent protocols, or classic RPA bots.
