Companies are shifting their AI strategy from initial experimentation with frontier models toward building specialized agents — systems of models that can reason, use tools and take action for complex workflows. These agents are already delivering value across multiple industries. In life sciences, researchers use domain models for protein design, virtual screening, genomics analysis and biomarker discovery, with NVIDIA BioNeMo Toolkit enabling work that previously took months to complete in days. Healthcare applications include clinical documentation, clinical decision support and care coordination, while physical agents in robotics can scale surgical assistance and hospital automation.

To make these agents practical and useful, enterprises need more than just powerful models. They require a foundation they can adapt and own, built on models they can customize, tools that connect to their existing systems and infrastructure that lets agents operate safely at scale.

NVIDIA Agent Toolkit — comprising models, tools, skills and a secure runtime — addresses this requirement. The toolkit provides an open, modular foundation for building safer, faster and lower-cost digital AI coworkers that enterprises and developers can customize, specialize, control and trust. Users can work with third-party agent harnesses and orchestration frameworks of their choice, including Hermes Agents and OpenClaw.

Real-world examples demonstrate this approach's effectiveness. Cadence and Synopsys are building autonomous agents for chip design and engineering workflows. CrowdStrike runs specialized security agents that triage alerts with 98.5% accuracy. Palantir, SAP, ServiceNow, Siemens and Dassault Systèmes are embedding agent capabilities into the enterprise platforms where critical decisions get made.

The broader pattern is clear: specialized agents become more useful when companies can combine models, tools, skills, runtime and infrastructure in ways adapted to their own workflows. NVIDIA Agent Toolkit provides the open, modular foundation that enables this combination.
