How do you know which vertical AI agent platform actually fits your business needs? It’s a question we hear often from enterprises looking to bring vertical AI into their core operations. If you’re exploring AI agents, here are the key factors to look for in a vertical AI agent platform built for your industry and workflows.
Agent and automation capabilities
Multiagent orchestration
Complex business workflows need more than one agent. Look for a platform that lets you orchestrate multiple agents effortlessly. A best-in-class platform allows you to describe your goal in natural language as simply as “automate policy renewal”, and orchestrates an effective multi-agent system to meet your needs.
Key things to check:
- Prompt-based flow creation
- Context sharing between agents
- Support for conditions, retries, and human-in-the-loop steps
Digital ClerX is built with multiagent orchestration at its core. It offers:
- Auto-generated agent workflows based on process goals
- A shared memory layer for agents to collaborate
- Support for conditional flows and escalations
Model flexibility
Your AI agents are only as smart (and efficient) as the models powering them. The right platform should let you choose the best model, whether it’s GPT-4, Azure OpenAI, open-source LLMs like Mistral, or your own fine-tuned models.
What to look for:
- Easy model selection per agent
- Support for private, open-source, and commercial models
- Ability to balance performance, cost, and compliance
- No vendor lock-in
How Digital ClerX delivers
Digital ClerX lets you assign the right model to each agent, based on the task. Use GPT-4 for reasoning-heavy tasks, deploy smaller models for lighter ones, or bring your own model. You get full flexibility without hardwiring agents to a single LLM provider.
Prebuilt agents
Not every automation should start from scratch. A good platform comes with prebuilt agents for common business tasks, so you can go live faster.
What to look for:
- Prebuilt AI agents for tasks like approval management, document generation, etc.
- Configurable templates to tweak based on your process
- Ability to reuse and combine prebuilt agents in custom workflows
How Digital ClerX delivers
Digital ClerX offers a growing library of prebuilt agents tailored to vertical use cases, like KYC checks, policy tracking, quote generation, and more. You can plug them into your flows or customize them with a few clicks.
Multimodal support
AI agents should support multimodal data — including text, images, video, and audio.
What to look for:
- Agents that can read and process PDFs, spreadsheets, images, and structured data
- Data extraction from different data formats
- Agents that can deliver output in different formats
How Digital ClerX delivers:
Digital ClerX agents can work with various data types, extracting key details from documents, interpreting tables, and generating outputs in your desired format. Whether it’s a scanned ID, a policy PDF, or a sales report, agents can handle it.
Bring Your Own Agent (BYOA)
Sometimes, you already have AI agents or services built in-house. The right platform should let you plug them in seamlessly.
What to look for:
- Support for custom agent integration via APIs or SDKs
- Ability to include your agent in orchestrated workflows
- Flexibility to mix prebuilt, custom, and external agents in one process
How Digital ClerX delivers:
Digital ClerX is designed to be open and extensible. You can integrate your own agents, whether they’re built with LangChain, Python, or other frameworks, into Digital ClerX flows using simple API configurations.
Built-in tools
AI agents often need supporting tools to complete specific tasks. A vertical AI agent platform should provide essential tools out-of-the-box for faster time-to-value.
What to look for:
- Ready-to-use tools to perform regular tasks
- Secure access to internal systems and external APIs
- Easy configuration without heavy coding
How Digital ClerX delivers:
AI agents on the platform come with built-in tools to perform specific tasks. So you can get started faster and with reduced external dependencies.
Enterprise data and integration readiness
Enterprise grounding
AI agents work in your business context and deliver goal-driven outcomes only when grounded on your enterprise data.
What to look for:
- Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for context-aware responses
- Secure access to internal data sources
- Ability to reference and cite grounded answers
- Support for grounding across multiple content types (docs, tables, web, etc.)
How Digital ClerX delivers:
Digital ClerX uses enterprise-grade RAG pipelines to ground agents in your trusted data, so every answer is backed by your enterprise data. Agents can retrieve and respond with accurate, referenceable information from your business content.
Integrations
AI agents need to work in sync with your organization’s existing tech stack. Integration capability is key to embedding intelligence into your real business workflows.
What to look for:
- Prebuilt connectors for your existing enterprise systems.
- API support for custom systems
- Low-code/no-code options to configure integrations quickly
How Digital ClerX delivers:
Digital ClerX offers native connectors for major enterprise platforms and a flexible API framework for custom integrations. Whether you’re pulling customer data from a CRM or pushing approvals into an ERP, agents can plug directly into your processes.
Embed flexibility
AI agents should work where your teams work—inside existing apps, portals, and workflows. Embedding flexibility ensures agents are accessible in the right context, without forcing users to switch tools.
What to look for:
- Ability to incorporate vertical AI agents on your apps, intranets, and other digital channels.
- Support for iFrame, API, and widget-based embedding
- Customizability to meet your branding requirements
- Single sign-on (SSO) and permission handling
How Digital ClerX delivers:
Our vertical AI agent platform lets you embed agents wherever your users need them—on your intranet, inside business applications, or in customer-facing portals. With flexible embed options and role-based access, agents fit right into your digital ecosystem.
Deployment and governance
Deployment flexibility
Every enterprise has unique infrastructure needs—whether cloud-first, on-prem, or hybrid. A robust AI agent platform should adapt to your deployment strategy, not the other way around.

What you should look for:
- Role-based access that fits your team structure
- Easy integration with your existing identity systems (like Azure AD or Okta)
- Fine-grained permissions for what users can see or do
