AI Agents

AI agents that work on your business data

4D agents watch your numbers, answer questions and take care of routine reporting, so your team can spend its time on decisions. Each agent is set up for your business and runs on your own compute and storage, so your data stays in your environment.

The basics

What is an AI agent?

An AI agent is software that uses a large language model to work towards a goal on its own. Instead of answering a single question, it can read data, use tools, take several steps and report back with a result.

In business intelligence that changes who does the looking. A dashboard shows you what happened when you open it. An agent keeps watch, works out what matters and brings it to you, with the evidence.

Dashboard

Shows the data. You decide when to look and what it means.

Chatbot

Answers the question you ask, one question at a time.

AI agent

Has a job to do. Checks the data, follows up, and tells you what needs your attention.

Use cases

Agents we can build for you

Every agent is scoped with you around one clear job. These are typical starting points.

Monitoring agent

Watches your KPIs and 4D alerts, spots unusual movements and explains what changed and where to look first.

Data analyst agent

Answers plain-English questions about your data, such as “which region slipped last month?”, and shows how it got the answer.

Reporting agent

Prepares weekly and monthly reports and management summaries, and sends them to the right people on schedule.

Data quality agent

Checks data arriving from your connectors for gaps, duplicates and errors before they reach your dashboards.

Follow-up agent

Keeps an eye on records in your Configurable Data Managers, such as overdue items, and nudges the owners.

Custom agent

Have a process that eats hours every week? We'll design an agent around it with you.

From idea to running agent

How it works

Scope

We agree the agent's job, the data it may use, the actions it may take and who it reports to.

Set up

We configure the agent on your compute and storage and connect it to your 4D data. One-time fee of $1,500.

Run

The agent gets to work and reports to your team. $100 per month per agent from then on.

Control

Your data stays yours

4D agents run on compute and storage that you provide, in your own cloud account or on your own servers. Your data doesn't need to leave your environment for an agent to work on it.

  • You decide which data each agent can see
  • You decide what each agent is allowed to do
  • Important actions go to a person for approval
  • Pay only for the agents you run

Your infrastructure

Compute and storage are provided by you, so you keep control of where agents run and what they cost to operate.

People in the loop

Agents raise findings with your team to follow up, in the same way 4D alerts do today.

Pricing

AI agents are added to the 4D Enterprise plan.

AI agent questions

What do I need to provide?

The compute and storage the agent runs on, for example a cloud account or a server you control. We'll tell you what the agent needs during scoping.

Can I start with one agent?

Yes. Each agent is priced on its own: $1,500 to set up, then $100 per month. Most teams start with one job and add agents as they see results.

Do agents replace my analysts?

No. Agents take on the repetitive watching, checking and reporting so your people can spend their time on judgement and decisions.

Can an agent act without asking?

Only where you allow it. You decide what each agent may do, and anything important can be sent to a person for approval first.

Which plan do I need?

AI agents are added to the Enterprise plan ($2,500 per month).
