Writer

WRITER is an enterprise AI platform for agentic work that helps organizations build, activate, and supervise AI agents grounded in company data and powered by its Palmyra LLMs. The platform brings together an agent experience, agent-building environment, graph-based retrieval, and governance controls so business and IT teams can move from experimentation to production on a common AI stack.

WRITER is designed for high-stakes enterprise workflows where accuracy, brand alignment, privacy, and control matter. Its platform is built to orchestrate work across internal knowledge and business systems, helping teams automate complex tasks, generate governed outputs, and monitor agent behavior centrally. Its multicloud availability and emphasis on interoperability also position WRITER for enterprises that want AI to fit existing infrastructure rather than operate as a separate silo.

Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations

WRITER combines agent development, grounded retrieval, model choice, and enterprise governance in one environment. Organizations can create agents with no-code tools, visual builders, and APIs, then connect them to internal knowledge, business applications, and external model providers.

A core strength is controlled execution at enterprise scale. WRITER supports guardrails, granular permissions, approval flows, activity traces, observability, and centralized policy management so teams can supervise how agents access data and take action. Its integration approach spans collaboration suites, data platforms, financial data sources, and custom APIs through governed connectors, while framework and telemetry integrations help WRITER fit into existing engineering and IT operations.
