Types of agentic AI platforms

Agentic AI platforms typically fall into one or more of the following categories:

  • Managed agent – Fully managed platforms provide built-in infrastructure, memory, and orchestration capabilities. They reduce operational overhead and accelerate time to production.

  • Open source orchestration – Open-source agentic platforms offer flexibility and transparency for organizations that prefer customizable environments or on-premises deployment.

  • Hybrid enterprise – Hybrid platforms integrate managed and self-hosted components, combining the scalability of cloud-managed services with the control of enterprise systems.
