We’re excited to announce a major new capability to our platform—Tellius AI Agents + Agent Composer (a no-code way to create agentic flows)—enabling rapid insights and bridging the analysis-to-action gap! In this post, we’ll break down what our AI agents can do, how they’re different, why we’re taking an agentic approach, and where we expect it will help our customers drive 100X productivity. Let’s dive in! 🦾

Why are AI Agents exciting?
Imagine if super valuable, super time-consuming analysis were frictionless to produce.
I’m talking about the analysis that typically requires inputs from 4-5 systems, a bunch of stitching and vlookups, and loads of nuance. The kind of analysis ChatGPT returns generic answers to because it’s not connected to your enterprise data and semantics; analysis that RPA is too laborious for; analysis that, at the end of the day you perform it but know deep down that you really should be doing it more frequently, you’re just too bandwidth constrained. Think: variance analysis (finance), targeting (sales), quality checks (supply chain), pricing/promotion analysis (marketing), and much, much more.
What if THIS analysis could be done daily, hourly, heck continuously, not just monthly, quarterly, or when stuff is on fire (in a bad way)? Think about how much more dynamic, data-informed, and smarter your business could be. This would be truly game changing (and believe it when we say we hate using this word unless it’s truly warranted!).
Introducing Tellius AI Agents and Agentic Flows
Tellius AI Agents and Agentic Flows are a powerful new way to automate answering—and acting upon—tough business questions through intelligent, task-driven AI Agents that analyze data, generate insights, and drive your decisions forward all in natural language.
Using + building AI Agents for deep business analysis has never been easier with Tellius:
• Tellius AI Agents take your goals as inputs and kick off multistep, multiagent analysis just by asking a question in natural language. Under the hood, AI agents parse your analysis goals intent, plots an approach, then leverages our enterprise-grade AI-powered data and analytics capabilities to make conversational queries, metadata search, visualization, ad-hoc analysis, insights generation, prediction and other time-consuming aspects of data-driven decisioning—easy.
• Agent Composer is a no-code way to build, test, and preview multi-step workflows tailored to your business needs by leveraging our repository of pre-built agents, templates, and tools—or building your own–again, super easily.
Tellius features a number of pre-built AI Agents and Agentic Flows out of the box, as part of our Kaiya GenAI offering.
• Agentic Flows: By working with the world’s most innovative companies, we’ve developed a number of pre-built flows for different tasks, domains and use cases. Your team can build these and share internally as well.
• AI Agents: Each workflow is powered by a squad of pre-built agents—Validation, Planner, Data Prep, Visualization, Insights, and Summary. Think of them like a 24/7 team that thinks and acts like a streamlined organization, collaborating to solve complex problems faster and smarter.
Why Tellius AI Agents are Unique
We’re not just another AI assistant or fancy chatbot. We’re not an RPA tool that automates processes. We’re not a thin wrapper on top of LLMs outputting generic answers and surface-level insights.
What we’ve built is an intelligent ecosystem of specialized agents purpose-built to handle the heavy lifting of unlocking decisions and actions that simply weren’t possible before.
Tellius AI Agents are equipped with:
• Your context, knowledge, and business logic, for the most accurate and impactful decisions
• The best and deepest analytics tools to seamlessly blend descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive analytics as the agents need to in pursuit of the answer
• Industry and departmental knowledge we’ve developed working with some of the most innovative pharmaceutical, CPG, and tech firms
…all on a highly intuitive conversational UI built on a scalable data platform allowing analysis of billions of data points specifically geared at answering analysis and analytics-focused questions.
Why We’ve Gone Agentic (And Why You Should Too!)
AI agents bring a step change upgrade in making decisions and automating processes. They enable users to specify goals and outcomes—rather than specific nitty-gritty details—for autonomous agents to perform.
In the last two years we’ve seen the entire ecosystem shift from copilots to coworkers i.e. agents for autonomous execution; from brute -force LLMs to higher reasoning and mixture of expert approaches, and finally from shallow answers to deep research. Kaiya Agents take these industry best practices to heart by being LLM agnostic (i.e. plug your preferred LLM into them) and ask the hardest business questions.
Let’s look at a before/after scenario of AI Agents in real-life.
Imagine we’re a category manager at a CPG firm, determining which products in our portfolio to discontinue to minimize cannibalization and boost profitability.
• Traditionally, you’d ask a few questions in Tellius’s conversational Q&A platform, generate some AI Insights into key drivers of cannibalization, identify a handful of discontinuation targets and save them to Vizpads, build up and share a narrative with colleagues, hone your analysis and ultimately come up with the final data-driven discontinuation recommendation.
• With AI Agents, agentic flows connect product data, sales data, distribution, and cannibalization metrics to instantly determine sales velocity, margin contribution and competitive overlap, which is then used to rank products by discontinuation potential, turning a month-long process process into a continuous one that improves profitability
Where we see 100x Productivity Gain Opportunities for Customers
Getting a dedicated team of AI agents working behind the scenes—planning, prepping visualizing, summarizing, and refining your analysis so you don’t have to—is applicable to all industries and departments, but just to call out some low-hanging fruit:
• Sales operations teams can improve pipeline health and increase rep performance via quicker adjustments in strategy and coaching through daily, real-time analysis of sales performance data that normally only happens on a quarterly basis.
• Marketing teams can make dynamic, data-driven decisions on targeting strategies rather than running monthly analysis of engagement metrics.
• Category managers at CPG firms can adapt pricing and promotional strategies in real-time, improving ROI and profitability thanks to daily analysis of sales, inventory, and promotional performance data.
• Finance departments can more quickly and accurately adjustment budgets for smoother financial operation via always-on variance analysis that automates comparisons of forecasted vs. actual results across multiple departments.
• Manufacturing teams can reduce defects and ensure inventory costs are minimized and product quality is maintained through automated quality checks and dynamic adjustments to production schedules
The list goes on and on.
Intrigued? Want to learn more?
We are constantly building new agents and agentic flows. Today’s agents will look rudimentary compared to what’s coming just a few months down the line. But we’re certain we’re on the right path, and best suited as the leading augmented analytics platform to unlock powerful self-serve answers, insights, and most importantly—ACTIONS— that make measurable business impact.
The agentic future isn’t coming—it’s already here—and could be your competitive edge.
