Kore.ai Agent Platform (Artemis)
by Kore.ai
An AI-native platform for building, governing and optimising enterprise multi-agent systems.
Artemis is the May 2026 generation of the Kore.ai Agent Platform, used to build, govern and optimise production multi-agent systems for customer service, employee productivity and process automation. It targets large regulated enterprises that need agents defined in a governed, compiled language with audit trails, deterministic guardrails and deep Microsoft integration.
The Kore.ai Agent Platform is an enterprise system for designing, deploying and operating AI agents, and Artemis, launched on May 21, 2026, is its current AI-native generation, succeeding the older XO (Experience Optimization) platform. Artemis rests on three pieces. Agent Blueprint Language (ABL) is a compiled, declarative, YAML-based language that standardises how agents, systems and workflows are defined, validated and governed, and it includes six built-in orchestration patterns: supervisor, delegation, handoff, fan-out, escalation and agent-to-agent federation. Arch is an AI agent architect that turns business objectives into production-ready ABL, designs the agent topology and refines agents using production traces. A dual-brain architecture runs LLM reasoning and deterministic business-rule flows in parallel over shared memory under one runtime, which matters in regulated industries where some steps must never be improvised. Governance is enforced at the platform layer, with real-time PII tokenisation, immutable audit trails, tenant isolation and full tracing of every agent decision. Artemis launched first on Microsoft Azure with native Foundry, Agent 365, Entra ID and Microsoft Graph integration, with broader cloud availability planned; the wider platform runs on Azure, AWS, Google Cloud and on-premises and supports 175 models. Kore.ai says it serves more than 500 Global 2000 organisations, 75% in regulated industries, across 40+ channels and 300+ integrations, and has raised roughly $223 million, including a $150 million round in January 2024 led by FTV Capital with Nvidia participating.
A CIO or head of AI platform at a regulated Global 2000 enterprise, especially a Microsoft/Azure shop, that needs many governed agents across service, HR and IT rather than one chatbot.
Production multi-agent systems defined in one governed, auditable language, with deterministic guardrails and tracing enforced before any agent goes live.

Key Features
- ✓Agent Blueprint Language (ABL)
Compiled, declarative YAML-based language that standardises how agents and workflows are defined, validated and governed across teams.
- ✓Arch AI architect
Translates business objectives into production-ready ABL, designs the agent topology and refines agents from real production traces.
- ✓Six orchestration patterns
Built-in supervisor, delegation, handoff, fan-out, escalation and agent-to-agent federation patterns for resilient multi-agent systems without custom plumbing.
- ✓Dual-brain architecture
Runs LLM reasoning and deterministic business-rule flows in parallel over shared memory, so regulated steps stay predictable.
- ✓Platform-layer governance
Real-time PII tokenisation, immutable audit trails, tenant isolation and tracing of every agent decision, mapped to regulatory controls.
- ✓Native Microsoft integration
Works with Azure Foundry, Agent 365, Entra ID, Microsoft Graph and Teams, fitting agents into existing Microsoft estates.
- ✓Model and channel breadth
Supports 175 AI models, 40+ channels and 300+ enterprise integrations, reducing lock-in to any single model vendor.
Capabilities
Use Cases
- •Pharmacy contact-centre automation
A major US pharmacy chain handling 750 million consumer calls a year deployed Kore.ai agents to 9,000 stores within six months.
- •Financial-advisor knowledge assistant
A global investment bank gives more than 30,000 financial advisors governed AI access to proprietary research and data through agents.
- •Employee service desk
A 35,000-employee semiconductor manufacturer automates HR, IT, legal and facilities requests with agents, reducing tickets handled by staff.
- •Governed multi-agent customer service
A regulated bank uses supervisor and escalation patterns so agents resolve routine requests while deterministic flows handle authentication and compliance steps.
Ideal For
Best For
- ✓Regulated enterprises (banking, healthcare, pharmacy, insurance) that need audit trails and deterministic controls on AI agents
- ✓Microsoft-centric organisations wanting agents integrated with Azure Foundry, Agent 365, Entra ID and Teams
- ✓Large contact centres automating voice and digital customer service across dozens of channels
- ✓Employee-productivity programmes covering HR, IT, legal and facilities workflows for tens of thousands of staff
- ✓Platform teams standardising how many business units define and govern agents
Not Ideal For
- ✗SMBs and mid-market teams without platform engineering capacity: reviewers repeatedly cite a steep learning curve and multi-month implementations
- ✗Teams that need transparent self-serve pricing: enterprise plans are custom-quoted and billed by session or seat
- ✗Organisations outside Azure wanting Artemis immediately: the new generation launched first on Microsoft Azure, with other clouds only planned
Deployment
Market & Ratings
500+ Global 2000 organisations
Market Analysis
Pros
- ✓Proven scale: 500+ Global 2000 customers and 450 million interactions processed daily, per the company
- ✓Strong compliance set: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, FedRAMP Moderate, HITRUST, HIPAA-aligned and GDPR
- ✓Analyst recognition, including Leader placements from Gartner, Forrester and Everest Group
- ✓Deployable across Azure, AWS, Google Cloud and on-premises, with broad model choice
Cons
- ✗Steep learning curve is the most-cited G2 complaint, alongside documentation quality for complex custom API integrations
- ✗Reviewers report slow interface performance on large flows and no simple rollback
- ✗Implementations reportedly average about two months, with ROI taking longer, according to a third-party review
- ✗Artemis is new (May 2026) and Azure-first, so its production track record is still short

Kore.ai does not publish Artemis list prices. Its documentation meters automation in 15-minute sessions (a 31-minute conversation counts as three) and bills Contact Center AI and Agent AI per named or concurrent agent seat, with Enterprise on custom contracts. A third-party review (aissist.io, 2026) estimates enterprise deals around $90,000 in the first year; treat that as directional.
