Agentic AI with Red Hat AI

Agentic AI describes software systems that are designed to problem solve and carry out complex tasks with limited supervision. 

Agentic AI uses large language models (LLMs) and builds on the power of generative AI (gen AI). It works by connecting to and communicating with external tools to perceive, decide, and orchestrate a whole automated task to achieve a defined goal. 

In an enterprise setting, agentic AI can complete complex and tedious workflows in a fraction of the time, helping to fuel productivity and improve efficiency. Simplify and accelerate your journey to successful agentic AI adoption with help from Red Hat® AI.

How can agentic AI help your organization?

Agentic AI augments traditional workflows by acting as an intelligent orchestrator of the tools you already use. It works and operates on top of your existing digital infrastructure. 

With the “agency” to communicate and collaborate with internal and external data sources, it creates a sense of perception and context. This allows it to proactively anticipate needs, adapt to changes, and even reflect on its own work.

Turn chatbots into AI agents

Turn chatbots into AI agents

When it comes to fulfilling requests, think of a chatbot as a vending machine, and AI agents as a made-to-order chef. 

Traditional chatbots are pre-programmed to respond to specific queries with a scripted response. They struggle with complexity and don’t learn or adapt from previous interactions. 

AI agents go beyond basic chatbots because they can independently access tools to automate complex tasks on behalf of humans. Agents have the ability to collaborate and work alongside humans, considering context, and tailoring outputs to an individual’s request. With the right tools, AI agents can resolve issues such as filling out forms and plugging into databases, all while keeping humans informed for approvals and key decisions.

Automate complex tasks

Forecast

Business operations could use an AI agent to manage supply chains, optimize inventory levels, forecast demands, and plan logistics.

Monitor

Healthcare fields could use an AI agent to engage with clients, monitor needs, carry out treatment plans, and provide personalized support.

Operate

Software operations could use agentic AI for the autonomous operations of networks and other IT infrastructure or services.

Enhance decision making

Adjust

Software development could use agentic AI to automatically generate debugging code, manage development lifecycle, and design system architecture.

Detect

Cybersecurity could benefit from an AI agent helping to monitor network traffic, detect issues, and respond to threats in real time.

Analyze

Finance and trade could be enhanced by agentic AI's ability to analyze market trends, make trading decisions, and adjust strategy based on streams of real time data.

Why Red Hat AI?

Red Hat AI provides a flexible approach and stable foundation for building, managing and deploying agentic AI workflows within existing applications. 

Simplified agent workflow assembly

Red Hat AI offers capabilities that make it easier to build new agents and modernize existing ones. This includes access to Llama Stack, which offers an out-of-the-box agent framework and a unified API layer for various functionalities, including safety, evaluations, and post-training. This streamlines the integration of LLMs, AI agents, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) components, which simplifies the creation of agentic workflows. 

Adaptable and governed agent deployment

Benefit from a safeguarded yet adaptable platform that supports diverse agent frameworks and both agent-to-agent and agent-to-tool connectors. Use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect to tools or as an abstraction layer for connecting agents via Llama Stack. With integrated monitoring and governance capabilities—built on decades of container security experience—you gain visibility into system activity and agent behavior.

Scalable and cost-optimized agent infrastructure

Deploy and manage agentic AI applications consistently across hybrid cloud environments with flexible hardware accelerator options and intelligent resource management. Red Hat OpenShift® AI, which includes Red Hat AI Inference Serveroptimizes the power of AI agents in a production environment. This allows for more efficient scaling and drives down traditionally high costs. 

Stay flexible

Red Hat AI provides users with the flexibility to choose where to train, tune, deploy, and run models and AI applications–on premise, in the public cloud, at the edge, or even in a disconnected environment. By managing your AI models within your environment of choice, you can control access, automate compliance monitoring, and enhance data security
