Eliminate AI sprawl

IBM® watsonx Orchestrate® coordinates agents, tools, workflows and foundation models across your enterprise from a centralized orchestration layer. It helps route work to the right specialized agent or tool in real time, reducing fragmented handoffs and improving execution across complex processes. 
 
Use ReAct for open-ended exploration, Plan-Act for structured execution, or deterministic orchestration when predictability is critical. Through the AI Gateway, teams can select and route across IBM Granite, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral or Llama while maintaining governance, observability and auditability.
Benefits
Faster task resolution

Intelligent routing sends work to the right agents, tools, and models in real time—reducing handoffs, rework, and delays.
Adaptability at scale

Use different orchestration styles—react, plan‑act, or deterministic flows—and introduce new capabilities as needs evolve. 
Controlled agent ecosystem

Bring together prebuilt, partner, and custom agents in a single system that maintains visibility, structure, and guardrails as agent use evolves.

Capabilities
