IBM unveils AI tools to accelerate AI agent adoption

At their annual Think conference, IBM unveiled a powerful new suite of AI technologies designed to move businesses beyond experimentation and into production-ready, integrated AI systems.

🧠 What’s New:

🔹 A redesigned watsonx platform to help unify and orchestrate AI workflows

🔹 An Agent Catalog with 150+ pre-built AI agents for HR, sales, procurement & more

🔹 watsonx Orchestrate — now supports custom agents built in under 5 minutes

🔹 A new LinuxONE 5 system optimized for AI workloads at scale

🔹 Expanded integration with major platforms like Adobe, Microsoft, AWS & SAP

🔹 Advanced tools for handling unstructured data across silos

🔹 Boosted partnerships with NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, CoreWeave and others

💡 Why It Matters:

IBM’s CEO said it best: “The era of AI experimentation is over. Today’s competitive advantage comes from purpose-built AI integration that drives measurable business outcomes.”

Yet, only 25% of companies in IBM’s own study said they’ve hit expected ROI with AI — proving the real challenge isn’t building AI... it’s integrating and scaling it effectively.

This new rollout is IBM’s answer; combining deep tech, automation, and real-world business tools.
