Terms around AI agents.
Short and without jargon.
What is the Agent Layer? What does an AI operating platform do? Here we explain the terms that come up when companies talk about AI, and show how LumeSec puts them into practice.
- 01
Agent Layer
The Agent Layer is LumeSec's agent framework: the software library we build AI agents with. We developed it ourselves instead of using a third-party framework.
- 02
AI operating platform
An AI operating platform is a platform on which a company runs AI agents for its processes: with rights, rules, approvals and an audit trail in one place. The LumeSec AI Platform belongs to this category.
- 03
AI agent
An AI agent is software that completes a task in several steps on its own: it reads documents, uses tools and presents the result. In a company it works by fixed rules and with approval.
- 04
Deterministic runtime
A deterministic runtime runs a process so that the same case always leads to the same result. Calculations and checks follow fixed formulas, not the language model.
- 05
AI gateway
An AI gateway is the central connection to language models. It sets which model a process may use, where data goes and what is logged.
- 06
Approval point (human in the loop)
An approval point is a step in an automated process where a person decides before it continues. With AI agents it makes sure responsibility stays with people.
- 07
AI in banking
AI in banking today mostly means reading documents and preparing back-office processes, such as statement analysis, credit files and KYC. Decisions stay with the bank, sourced and auditable.
