AI Agents & Decisions

Understanding how Decisio's five specialized AI agents work together to analyze your data and generate actionable business decisions.

What is an AI Agent?

In Decisio, an AI agent is a specialized autonomous system designed to handle a specific type of business decision. Unlike general-purpose AI assistants, our agents are:

  • Domain-specific: Each agent is expert in one area (pricing, forecasting, etc.)
  • Proactive: They continuously analyze data and surface opportunities
  • Explainable: Every recommendation includes reasoning and confidence
  • Learnable: They improve based on your feedback and outcomes

The Five Agents

  • Real-time competitor price monitoring
  • Dynamic pricing recommendations
  • Promotion price optimization
  • Margin-aware pricing strategies

Outputs

  • Price change recommendations
  • Elasticity reports
  • Competitive position analysis

How Agents Collaborate

While each agent focuses on a specific domain, they share information to provide holistic recommendations:

  • Orion → Nova: Demand forecasts inform safety stock calculations
  • Nova → Astra: Inventory levels influence pricing recommendations
  • Astra → Pulse: Price elasticity data optimizes promotion depth
  • Sentinel → All: Risk alerts can trigger reviews of other decisions

Decision Lifecycle

Every decision generated by an agent goes through a defined lifecycle:

  1. Generated: Agent identifies an opportunity or issue
  2. Pending: Decision awaits human review (if required by policy)
  3. Approved/Rejected: Human takes action
  4. Executed: Approved decision is applied to external systems
  5. Monitored: Outcome is tracked for learning

Confidence Scores

Every recommendation includes a confidence score (0-100%) that reflects how certain the agent is about the decision. Factors affecting confidence:

  • Amount of historical data available
  • Consistency of patterns in the data
  • Similarity to past successful decisions
  • External uncertainty factors

You can configure approval policies based on confidence — e.g., auto-approve decisions with 90%+ confidence, require review for anything below.
