Introducing PYRANA
Production-grade AI applications, not chat boxes. Rapidly built around your processes, informed by your knowledge, controlled by the platform.
Outcome driven
Applications, not a text box
Chat makes every user responsible for knowing what to ask. Agentic applications are shaped around the task and bring the work to the person, so results depend on the process, not on who is prompting.
Compounding Scale
Every application accelerates the next
Take one use case from pilot to production, extend it across teams and sites, then add the next. The foundation and the business knowledge are shared, so every application builds on the last.
Risk Mitigating
Guardrails outside the model
Permissions, approvals, and limits are enforced by the platform, not by a prompt. Agents inherit the access and authority of the people they work for, and every action has an audit-ready history.

THREE KINDS OF SOFTWARE, AND WHERE PYRANA SITS
Systems of record
Software that keeps track. People do all the work.
Copilots and chat tools
Software that helps one person at a time. The result depends on that person's skill and on what they thought to ask.
Agentic applications: PYRANA
Software that carries the work. Agents do the analysis inside an application built around the process; people decide inside it.
HOW IT WORKS: EVERY APPLICATION IS CONFIGURATION ON ONE PLATFORM
Month-end close
Contract review
Order exceptions
+ the next one
SHARED ONCE, REUSED BY EVERY APPLICATION
Business knowledge
System connections
Identity and permissions
Approval rules
Audit record
PYRANA HARNESS: ONE RUNTIME FOR EVERY AGENT RUN
Durable
Saves each step. Resumes after a crash or a long approval wait.
Any model
Chosen per application. Your keys, your data, no training.
Governed
Identity, approvals, limits, and the record enforced on every call.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Outcome driven
Applications, not a text box. Shaped around the task, so results depend on the process, not on who is prompting.
Compounding scale
Every application accelerates the next. Foundation and business knowledge are shared, so each one builds on the last.
Risk mitigating
Guardrails outside the model. The platform enforces permissions, approvals, and limits; every action has an audit-ready history.
The hard part is already built. Each application is configuration on top: the process, the pages, and the knowledge, not the plumbing.
Why Agentic AI, and Why Now
When software does the work, the economics of every function change
© 2026 Zeroth Agents, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Systems of record
Software that keeps track. People do all the work.
Generative AI and copilots
Software that helps. People still do the work.
Agentic applications
Software that carries the work, with people deciding inside it.
WHAT IT CHANGES FOR THE BUSINESS
Operating leverage
Volume grows without headcount growing in step.
Speed
Cycle times move from days to minutes.
Consistency
Every decision made with the right knowledge, every time.
Resilience
Institutional knowledge stays when people leave.
10 to 25%
EBITA gains from scaling agentic and single-task AI
Bain, 2025
30 to 50%
acceleration in business processes
BCG, 2025
70 to 80%
lower cost per transaction in labor-heavy processes
McKinsey, 2025
Why now: the models are ready. What separates the winners is how safely, and how fast, they put them to work inside the business. Early movers are already compounding the advantage.
What an Agentic Application Is
People and agents share the same pages, data, and knowledge, under one identity and one record
© 2026 Zeroth Agents, Inc. All Rights Reserved
YOUR BUSINESS people, systems, knowledge, customers
THE APPLICATION the job to be done and the rules around it
who may do what
what needs approval
which limits apply
the record of every action
THE AGENT a participant, not the application
Reads the documents and systems, works out what to do, acts within the limits, asks a person when the policy says so, and cites what it used.
It never sets its own rules. It holds only the access the application grants, including its own credentials to outside systems, and every action is on the record.
What agents do
Gather the facts from documents and systems
Analyze and recommend
Act within the limits you set
Ask a person when the rules say so
Remember, and improve with use
What your people do
Set the rules and the limits
Approve what matters
Handle exceptions and judgment calls
Spend time on customers, strategy, and relationships
Everyone, human or agent, passes the same gate: same identity, same authorization, same record.
Working in the background
Agents run the process end to end and bring people only the exceptions.
Example: the monthly financial review across every business unit, delivered in minutes instead of days.
Working in the application's pages
People work in the application's own pages. The copilot sits beside the page for questions about what is on screen and for personal pages; it is not the primary interface.
Example: a buyer completing a procurement request on a page, with the policy applied as they go.
Meet PYRANA
Build, run, and govern agentic applications on one platform, private tenant or your own infrastructure

App pages
Copilot
APIs and integrations
Other agents via MCP
Schedules and events
THE GATE every call, human or agent, passes eight steps before anything runs: identity, App version, authorization, approval policy. Fails closed. The record is written before dispatch.
AGENTIC APPLICATIONS
One App configuration each: surfaces, targets, tool sources, resources, access, knowledge. Examples below.
Financial close and review
Collections
Procurement
Marketing content
IT project management
Pyrana Harness
Runtime and orchestration: planning, tool use, subagents, durable workflows, approval policies, checkpoint and resume. Five lanes: direct, agent, workflow, batch, event. A model assigned per agent.
cortIQ context engine
Documents and tacit knowledge become typed, classified, evidence-backed Context Units in a knowledge graph. Agents retrieve and cite them; every run accounts for what it used.
ENTERPRISE FOUNDATION SaaS on a dedicated private tenant, or your own infrastructure · SSO and authorization in layers · tenant isolation · one execution record per call · your data never trains external models · model per agent
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
One authorization model for people and agents
Identity, authorization, approvals, and audit enforced once, on every door. Each agent carries its own identity and credentials, inside and out.
Context engineering, built in
A shared context engine with source-level provenance. Knowledge compounds across apps with use.
Applications, not agents
The basics are already built and live in the platform. Teams build the process, the pages, and the knowledge, not the plumbing.
The platform is built once. Each application is configuration, and value arrives in weeks.
What a Team Sees
Elegant, user-friendly application pages. The copilot sits beside the page; it is not the primary interface.
© 2026 Zeroth Agents, Inc. All Rights Reserved
ILLUSTRATIVE the monthly run published the pack; the controller asks the copilot about one account and revises the summary in place. Pyrana Capital is a synthetic portfolio.
WHAT THE PAGE SHOWS
Pages people work in
Entities, KPIs, an executive summary, and a chart on one App page. Not a chat window.
Copilot beside the page
Auxiliary: questions about what is on screen, and personal pages. The page stays primary.
Every figure cites its unit
Numbers carry Context Unit references. The run that produced them is on the record.
Why PYRANA
Because the hard part is already built
© 2026 Zeroth Agents, Inc. All Rights Reserved
A framework
You get an agent. Security, authorization, and storage are still yours to build, and to maintain as agents multiply.
Vertical applications
One finished product per job, each with its own identity, permissions, and data. Nothing between them. CIOs do not want twelve of them.
A platform: PYRANA
Identity, authorization, storage, orchestration, approvals, and audit built once. Every application composes on it as configuration, with people inside the loop.
SPEED TO VALUE
The basics are already built
Identity, authorization, audit, storage, orchestration, approvals, and context live in the platform. A team builds the process, pages, and knowledge.
About a week
to stand up the App configuration, with clean data available. The frontend experience is the main effort.
About six weeks
from decision to a first App in production, with real identities and approvals. Confirmed per engagement.
Less each time
Every App after the first inherits the identity model, access profiles, approval lanes, audit record, and Context Units.
Built and delivered by experienced operators, in production with enterprise clients in regulated industries today.
Pilots Are Easy. Production Is the Problem.
Frameworks and vertical applications both leave the hard part undone
© 2026 Zeroth Agents, Inc. All Rights Reserved
VERTICAL APPLICATIONS
One vertical AI product per function. Each arrives with its own identity model, permission semantics, audit format, and storage.
Finance AI
own identity
own permissions
own audit log
own storage
Procurement AI
own identity
own permissions
own audit log
own storage
IT Ops AI
own identity
own permissions
own audit log
own storage
Context stays trapped in each silo. Integration glue is rebuilt for every pair of systems and governed by none of them.
A FRAMEWORK
Agent frameworks and cloud agent services solve the visible part: a model, a prompt, and some tools.
The agent
what the demo shows
below the waterline
Fine-grained authorization
Tenant isolation
Durable execution
Human approval policy
Idempotent external effects
Audit, secrets, versioning
The hard part sits underneath every application. It is expensive, security critical, and usually bolted on after the first incident.
40%+
of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027, citing cost, unclear value, and inadequate risk controls
Gartner, 2025
50%
of enterprise AI agents operate in isolation: no shared data, no coordination, no handoffs between them
Salesforce, 2026
21%
of organizations have a mature governance model for agentic AI
Deloitte, April 2026
The third way: a platform that does the hard part once. Applications as configuration, agents where they help, people deciding inside.

Agentic Apps: One Application, Many Doors
One set of rules for every person, agent, workflow, and system in the application
© 2026 Zeroth Agents, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Manager drags a card
Colleague asks copilot
System calls the API
Agent calls MCP tool
Nightly workflow runs
ONE OPERATION project.stage.transition defined once, called from every door, by person or agent
THE GATE resolves the caller, App version, profile, scope, and exact resources; writes the record and claims idempotency before dispatch. Same eight steps whichever door; each caller keeps its real identity.
INSIDE THE APP
one App configuration, six sections, one active version
Surfaces the pages people work in
Targets operations, agents, workflows, from every door
Tool sources REST, ODBC, MCP, warehouses, drives
Resources published outputs, versioned
Access profiles, scope entitlements, approval lanes
Knowledge standing sets and context search
Author config
Compile, pin digests
Immutable version
Activate: one pointer
Roll back
Why not assemble it from components?
COMPONENT BUILD
AGENTIC APP
Permissions
Every door grows its own lock; policy drifts.
One target, one gate, every door.
Agent authority
Agents call any tool they can see.
Agents hold their own identity, inside and out.
Outputs
Trapped in the run or thread that made them.
Versioned, citable resources with provenance.
Your domain code
Forks the platform or leaks into shared code.
Runs as a governed extension in your cluster.
Change control
Config edits go live unversioned.
Compile, version, activate, roll back.
Agents are participants in the app, not the app itself.
cortIQ: Company Knowledge, Typed and Cited
Documents and tacit knowledge become Context Units: typed, classified, evidence-backed
© 2026 Zeroth Agents, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Sources
Documents, systems of record, expert input, and past sessions.
Extract
Lenses turn sources into Context Units: atomic claim, verbatim evidence, provenance, hash, knowledge type, classification.
LLM extracts. Code validates.
Knowledge graph
Postgres as truth, Neo4j for relationships, Qdrant for vectors. Sets scope knowledge; rank-0 units are always-on policy.
Persistent knowledge, not chunks
Retrieve
Three modes: knowledge, facts, and search. Standing sets preload; the agent searches mid-run.
Better context beats more context
Agents act
Every unit is accounted for as retrieved, injected in the prompt, or cited in the result. Provenance is a record, not a claim.
retrieved ⊇ injected ⊇ cited
CURATION propose, gate by classification (regulated waits for a person; absolute never auto-changes), apply under compare-and-set. Superseded units stay traceable. A learning agent scores what was retrieved and used and flags units that never help for review.
GOVERNED regulated or absolute knowledge cannot be retired by weak usage signals. Humans review; the engine recommends.
BEYOND RETRIEVAL
Typical RAG or agent memory
cortIQ
Unit of knowledge
Text chunks sized for the embedding model
Atomic claims with evidence, provenance, and a citable hash
Retrieval
Similarity search over one index
Graph, vector, keyword fused and reranked; policy always on
Provenance
A log of documents retrieved
Retrieved, injected, and cited tracked per unit, per run
Improvement
Static index; re-embed to change behavior
Learns from use under governance; protected knowledge stays
Memory
Conversation transcript replay
Session memory over temporal, semantic, and reference links
An Agent Harness Built for Enterprise Work
A proprietary, model-agnostic runtime with durability and human oversight built in
© 2026 Zeroth Agents, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Native tool calling and subagents
Plans, calls tools, delegates bounded work to named subagents, and reads results through scoped views.
Durable execution
Temporal-backed workflows and dynamic DAGs. Suspend, checkpoint, and resume after any interruption.
Human approval as policy
Typed conditions, named approval lanes, frozen invocations, revalidation before dispatch. Never pays twice.
Model agnostic
A model is assigned per agent through provider adapters and never switched mid-run. Bring your own keys.
Does the job, every time
Deterministic checks confirm the required output, structure, and evidence before an agent can finish.
Plugs into your ecosystem
Your tools, data, and transactional systems via MCP, APIs, connectors. Your code as an extension.
Explicit state and virtual file system
Plan and knowledge change only through tools. Path-based access to files and context, no raw credentials.
One causal trace
Admission, model calls, tools, approvals, effects, outputs: one identity. Evaluate and audit any run.
ONE GOVERNED LOOP
Admit
authority
Plan
explicit steps
Act
tools, subagents
Observe
checkpoint
Validate
schema gate
Publish
trace, receipts
Agent
Every agent has its own identity, in the platform and in the systems it touches: one agent may hold SharePoint site A, another only site B. Every child call re-enters admission.
FIVE LANES behind one gate. Direct runs deterministic work with no model; the four below run the rest.
Agent adaptive, with tools
Workflow durable, long running
Batch many entities at once
Event schedules, webhooks
Comparing Agentic Solution Approaches
All three get one agent live. They diverge on every application after it.

APPROACH
WHAT ARRIVES
EVERY APPLICATION AFTER THE FIRST
SECURITY AND AUTHORIZATION
CONTEXT AND KNOWLEDGE
CONTROL AND LOCK-IN
Vertical applications
One product per job: Sierra, Harvey, Jasper, Wonderful
One finished application per job, each with its own identity, permissions, and data.
Another product, another identity model, another audit format.
Each vendor’s own. Nothing between them.
Trapped inside each product. Re-onboarded for every vendor.
Vendor cloud, vendor data model, vendor’s choice of models.
A framework
Agent SDKs and cloud agent stacks: AgentCore, Foundry, Vertex, LangChain
An agent. Security, authorization, and storage are still yours to build.
Rebuilt per agent, or a platform team maintaining what the framework left out.
The enterprise’s to build, and to maintain as agents multiply.
Per-agent memory. Cross-app knowledge is another build.
Full control, full burden. Primitives tied to one cloud.
A platform
PYRANA
The foundation, built once: identity, authorization, storage, orchestration, audit.
One App configuration. Same identity, authorization, audit, and context. Basics never redone.
One model, decided on the backend in layers, shared by every application.
cortIQ shared and cited across every app, learning from use.
Your tenant or your infrastructure, your data, your tools, any supported model.
Agent control planes (Agent 365, Agent Fabric, AI Control Tower) govern agents under any approach and build no applications.
The foundational engineering is done once, in the platform. That is what value in weeks depends on.
Questions Buyers Ask
The short answers. The site carries the long ones.
© 2026 Zeroth Agents, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Hosting
SaaS on a dedicated private tenant, or deployment into your own infrastructure for large enterprises. Temporal workers provide durability and horizontal scaling in both.
Portability and lock-in
One YAML configuration per application; agent instructions in plain language; declarative workflows; Context Units are your data. Nothing is opaque.
Data layer
No copy of your data is required. Agents query live through tool sources: REST, ODBC, MCP, Databricks, Snowflake, Drive, OneDrive. Cleansing runs in a code interpreter or an ETL layer upstream.
MORE
Models
A model is assigned per agent through provider adapters and never switched mid-run. Bring your own keys.
Evals
Every run’s traces, tokens, and tool errors are captured as JSON today. Deterministic checks first, then LLM-as-judge.
API
A full administrative API: push and pull configuration, start runs, read runs and traces. Any agent can work with an App over its MCP server, as the user.
Time to build
About a week for the App configuration with clean data; about six weeks from decision to a first App in production, confirmed per engagement.
Security review: questionnaires answered with mechanisms and documents, on request.
