Most AI agents are built around a narrow tooling model: call a synchronous service, get a response, repeat. BAW Agent Factory breaks that model open by enabling agents native to IBM Business Automation Workflow. In this session, Salient and IBM will show how a tool can be a process, a service flow, a human task or service, an MCP tool, or even a branch of arbitrary complexity within a BAW application. That gives architects much more flexibility to combine agentic planning with deterministic execution in both synchronous and asynchronous scenarios. We'll examine how agents can run in processes, services, and conversational user experiences, and how agentic and deterministic behaviors can be composed hierarchically for more advanced solutions. BAW customers will see how to adopt agentic AI while continuing to leverage their existing platform investment, governance model, integrations, and operational strengths.
